Paul E, I thought I had a computer braille listing. I used to. However, in all my computer changing in the last few years, apparently I lost it. Freedom Scientific used to put it in manuals, but I couldn't find it in the Jaws help. This week, I used my Mac to read and proofread some braille fil

Hi Gigi, Well these control characters are actually what I was wanting to know to begin with, and these few already solve this matter. I thought that a j with dots 7 and 8 was some kind of graphic, but it being a linefeed clears it up. M with 7 and 8 is carriage return, because 13, and m is the

Hi Paul E. I had this information originally in an, I think an old VersaBraille manual or maybe the old Braille Lite manual. I do have on my computer a file from BANA which is called Computer Braille. There are some things in there like dots 456 twice for underline which don't apply to computer

Hi Gigi, Yes that's what I would like to do. American computer braille is what I am used to, even though I am in Europe. But yes, I'd like to omit the control characters for quicker reading, or I would like to have a good way to learn them, so I don't see things I don't understand. Is there an o

Hi Paul E. I do not know if you can edit the table. In my case, I have no reason to. It looks fine. So far, I can't see any problem with it. Are you thinking about taking out the control characters? If so, I would rather be able to turn them on and off, but right now I'm just glad I can do it a

I sure wish that when I wrote Apple they had saiD back to me there indeed is a way to display in computer braille. I have found that you don't have to go to Unified Braille. For all I know this works in all the languages. If you choose English and uncontracted braille and then turn on dots 7 an
