[Blindtlk] open book

Tue Aug 23 14:38:30 UTC 2011

diane,
especially on the net, that won't set your choice.
you have to activate the combo box then hit alt+down arrow to see the 
available choices without automatically selecting the next item below the 
one that is displayed.

>>    Hi Peggy.
>> I emailed you a while ago and haven't gotten a response.
>>
>> I'm very frustrated because I've tried the insert key on the num pad. I
>> didn't hear anything.
>> I'm wondering how am I going to know when it's done scanning? Will it say
>> something?
>>
>> So, the insert key didn't do anything.
>> I then tried the space bar, but you know what?
>> A dialog box came up and said "acquisition... combo box, scanner."
>> So I assumed that was highlighted.
>> I tabbed down to see what else was in the dialog box and there was 
>> another
>> combo box that read "no scanner."
>> Then the usual "ok and cancel" buttons.
>>
>> Seeing as how I don't know what I'm doing, lol, I hit enter on cancel.
>> Because I didn't want to mess anything up and not know how to change it
>> back, if I needed to.
>> I really don't know what I'm going to do!

>>    Hi all,
>> I recently got open book, just the program, to increase my independence.
>> Now, I’m a hands on learner, don’t like to read to find out how something
>> works.
>> My first question of many is, does it work better if I had the Pearl?
>> I have a scanner, but don’t know how to use it.
>> When you open the program, it says, “open book version 9.0, read only.”
>> Then I’m clueless as to what to do next or how to work it without having

>> read the guide.
>>
>> So, if anyone has any tips or a quick lesson, it would be greatly
>> appreciated.
>> God bless you all.
>> Nikki
