Writing a Simple Document. 

The aim of this first exercise is to write a very simple document with the word processor.  

To reach a common starting point, go to the Main Menu by pressing MENU. Your BrailleNote 
displays: 

"Main menu." 

To get to the word processor, press W. Your BrailleNote displays: 

"KeyWord menu." 

To Create a document, press C, for Create, and your BrailleNote displays: 
"Folder name? General," 

KeySoft is asking which part of its filing system you want to use, and is offering the "General" 
folder. This is fine for now, so follow the prompt and press ENTER. KeySoft then displays: 
"Document to create?" 

Notice that, a little after the question mark there is a cell that has dots 7 and 8 on. This is the cursor. 
It shows where the character that you press will be entered. Dot 7 is below dot 3 and dot 8 is below 
dot 6. 

You are being asked to provide a name for the new document, so type a name such as: "test."  

When you have typed the name, press ENTER. Your BrailleNote displays: 
"Top of document. Blank." 

This means that you have created a new document named “Test,” and the cursor is sitting at the top 
of it. The Braille display is completely blank. 

You are now free to type whatever you like. For this demo, just type a simple sentence such as: 
"This is a test of my new BrailleNote QT." type the first word and press SPACE. The characters 
are displayed on the Braille display as you type. The cursor, dots 7-8, appears to the right of the last 
character typed. This shows where the next character will be entered. Each word is spoken when the 
space bar is pressed. Complete your sentence. 

That's all we'll write for now. To finish this little exercise, press ESCAPE. Your BrailleNote QT 
displays: 

"KeyWord menu." You are back at the Word processor menu, and your new document 

has been automatically saved. If you press ESCAPE again you arrive back where you started, at the 
Main Menu.
