5. Word Processor
You can launch the "Word Processor" in a couple of ways:
Press "F1" to open the main "Program" menu. Navigate to "Word Processor" using "Space-4" and press "Enter". You can also press W from the main menu to quickly jump to and open the "Word Processor.
You can launch the "Word Processor" from anywhere on the unit by pressing "F1-W".
When you launch the Word Processor on the U2, it places you in a new, blank document. You can activate all the functions of the Word Processor via the Word Processor menu or by using hot keys. The menu in the Word Processor consists of File, Edit, Go To, Read, and Layout. To access these menus, press "Space-M" or "F2".  Select a menu item using "Space-1" or "Space-4" , and press "Enter". Or, you can press "Space-M or "F2" followed by the shortcut for the corresponding menu item.  For example to open the edit menu, press "Space-M" or "F2" to open the menu, and press E.  
The Word Processor also contains various lists and dialog boxes. Use "Space-1" and "Space-4" or the Up and Down scroll keys to navigate menus, settings or file lists. Use "Space-4-5" and "Space-1-2" or "F3" and "Space-F3" to tab among controls in a dialog. For the purrposes of these instructions, we will generally refer to using "F3" and "Space-F3" or simply "Tab". However, in these instances, "Space-4-5" and "Space-1-2" can also be used. Press "Enter" to execute an item.
Before going in to more detail about the Word Processor, it is also important to note that while you are anywhere in a document, you can discover your location by pressing "Space-1-5-6". In addition, if you are in a document, and turn the U2 off, it announces the status when you power back on. In the next few sections the features of the Word Processor are explained in more detail. 

5.1 File Menu

5.1.1 New
The new command creates a new, editable document. By default, the name of the new document is "noname.txt". The extension, ".txt" is the extension given to documents that are created in Text format on the U2. It is the same file name that is created automatically when the Word Processor opens. 
* Note: if you have changed your default document type in the "Global Options", the extension may be DOC, BRAILLE or HBL, as your default document type can be set to Braille, text, Doc or Sense document.
To create a new document, select "New" from the "File" menu. Or, press "Enter-N". If "New" is executed while editing another document, you are prompted for the file type of the new document: "Sense Document (s)" is displayed first. If you press "Space-4" repeatedly, the other document types are displayed. Select the document type you want, and press "Enter".
If a new document is created or opened without saving the document currently being edited, the U2 asks whether to save the current document, so that changes to it are not lost. When "Save: Yes" is displayed, users can select "Yes" To save the current document or select "No" not to save the changes. If you press "Space" once more and select "Cancel", the Word Processor cancels the new document, and returns to the current document.

5.1.2 Open
The open command opens a document that has already been saved to a disk. Select "Open" from the "File" menu, or press "Enter-O the "Open" dialog is displayed. 
The "Open dialog" consists of the "file list", "File name" edit box, "Type" (for choosing the format of the file, a "Confirm" button and a "Cancel" button. To move between these controls, press "F3" or "Space-F3". 
You are placed in the "File name:" edit box. You can type in a file name to open in computer Braille, and press "Enter".  The U2 searches for the file in the "/flashdisk/My Documents" folder. If you have recently accessed other files, you can scroll through them by pressing "Space-1" and "Space-4" or the up and down scroll buttons. You can open a selected file by pressing "Enter". If you select a folder and press "Enter", the list of files in that folder are displayed.
To access a file that is on an SD card or USB memory stick, you can access the file in the "Open" dialog by moving to the "file list" using "Space-F3". Then, press "Backspace" until you reach the drive list. Use "Space-1" and "Space-4" to navigate among the drives until you reach the USB stick memory or the Sd card. Press "Enter" to open the storage device and the files and folders are displayed. 
While viewing the File List, you may use normal file management commands such as "Delete", "Rename", and "New Folder". Press "Space-H" for a complete list of available functions.
When opening documents, The U2 chooses the Braille grade depending upon the file type. For example, if you press "Enter" to select a file that has the extensions hblind or brl, or if you type in a file name with those extensions and press "Enter", the U2 opens the selected file in Grade 2 Braille. You are not able to change the Braille grade in these documents. If you press "Enter" to select a file that has the extensions txt or doc, it opens the file according to the "View/Input grade" setting in "Global Options". After the file opens, you can switch the Braille grade among computer Braille, uncontracted Braille, and grade 2 Braille, using "Space-G". 
The Word Processor allows you to open and work with up to 10 files simultaneously. If you already have one document open, and you try to open another document, the U2 asks you to save changes to the document that is already open. Once the document is saved, an open dialog appears. However, your original document remains open. You can move among open documents by pressing "Space-F3" for the previous document, and "F3" to move to the next document.

5.1.3 Open in new Word Processor
This option opens a second instance of the Word Processor. This option is useful when you want to have 2 documents open at the same time, and want to switch between them without saving and loading each.
To open a document in the second Word Processor, select "Open in New Word processor" from the File Menu, or press "Backspace-O". You are, once again, placed in a new, blank document, and you can activate all functions as you can in the original instance of the Word Processor. 

5.1.4 Save
The save command saves a document to a disk. To use this option, select "Save" from the "File" menu or press "Enter-S" while in a document.
If the document has not been saved previously, when you execute "Save", "Save as dialog" opens. You can refer to section 5.1.4 for information on how to use the "Save as dialog".
If you execute "Save" after editing an existing document, U2 saves the document with your changes under the same file name without opening a dialog. After the document is saved, you are returned to document editing. 
When you have several documents open, you can save and close the focused document, by pressing "Space-Q". The document is saved and closed, and your focus is placed in the previous document in the tab order.
* Note:
Though you can open DOCX, PowerPoint, PDF and unprotected EPUB files in the Word Processor, they cannot be saved under these file types as editing in these formats is not supported. If you save one of these documents, the "Save as" dialog opens so that you can save in one of the file types supported by the U2. 

5.1.5 Save As
The "Save As" option is used to save a document under a different file name, in a different location, or as a different file type. To execute this command, select "Save As" from the "File menu" or press "Space-S" while in a document.
The "Save as dialog" is displayed. This dialog is almost the same as the "Open" dialog. It consists of "file list", "File name", "Type" (representing the file format), a "Confirm" button, and a "Cancel" button. When the dialog opens, "File name:" is displayed. 
If you execute "Save As" when you are editing an existing document, the displayed file name, file format, and the folder are the same as those of the existing file. When executing "Save as", on "PDF" and "EPUB", documents, the formatting is lost as these files are converted to txt format on opening.
If you execute "Save" or "Save As" while in a new document, the displayed default file name is "noname.braille" and the file path is "flashdisk/My Documents/".
To edit the displayed file name, press the cursor routing key at the position you want to edit, and modify it. Or, to create a new file name, simply type in the new file name to overwrite what is currently in the edit box. You cannot use the following characters in a file or folder name. "|, \, <, >, ?, :, ininwas
To change the file format, "Tab" to "Type". Move to your desired file format by pressing "Space-1" or "Space-4".
To save a file with a file name that is in the file list, "Shift-Tab" to the "file list" and navigate to your desired location using normal file and folder navigation. 

5.1.6 Saving password Protected Files
The U2 allows you to encrypt and password protect files which you do not wish for anyone else to be able to open. Before you save a document as a protected file, you must set a password in the "Settings" option under the "File" menu. See section 5.1.9.
The "Set Password" dialog consists of 5 items: "Delete the original file" checkbox, ?, a "Password?" edit box, a "Retype Password" edit box, a "confirm" button, and a "cancel" button.  
The "Delete the original file" checkbox allows you to choose whether, when you save the file as a protected file, the original is deleted. If you wish to delete the original file, press "Space" to check this box. By default, it is unchecked. 
Tab to each of the edit boxes for typing the password, and type it using computer Braille. When the password is entered in both edit boxes, Tab to the "Confirm" button and press "Enter" to save your password. The unit announces, "Set password completed" and returns you to the "settings" dialog. 
When you have created and saved a password for the file you wish to protect, access the "Save as" dialog as described in the previous section, and choose "HPF" (HIMS Protected File) as your file type. Your document is encrypted and password protected. The next time you open the document, you are prompted for the password you created. To open the document, type it in and press "Enter".
* Note: When saving protected files, please ensure you make note of the password used to protect them. Use passwords you can remember, and make note when typing them that they are typed correctly. Though it is not impossible, recovering password protected documents is extremely difficult, and your document will need to be sent to HIMS for decryption. 

5.1.7 Close Current Document
The "Close Current Document" command allows you to close the currently focused document without closing the Word Processor. Choose "Close Current Document" from the "File" menu, or press "Space-Q" while in a document. Please note that this function is not available if you only have one document open. You must have at least two or more documents open To execute the "Close Current Document" command.

5.1.8 Print
The "Print" command is used to print or emboss the current document. Select "Print" from the "File" menu, or press "Space-P" while in a document. There are two lower level dialogs for the "Print" option. One is for printing with an ink printer (HP or Epson), and the other is for embossing in Braille. 
1. Embossing in Braille
Select "Embosser" from the "Print" menu, and the "Embosser dialog" is opened and contains the Settings list, a "Confirm" button and a "Cancel" button. The Settings list contains the following:
1) Start page number: The first page number to be embossed. The default is set to 1. You can change the value of the page number, by typing in a new value. 
2) End page number: the last page number to be embossed. The default value is set to 100000. This means the document is embossed to the end of the document, unless the document exceeds 100000 pages. To change the value, input the end page number.  
3) Number of copies: designates the number of copies to be embossed. The default is set to 1. You can change this number by typing your desired number of copies.  
4) Set Braille format: you can set whether or not the Braille document layout settings specified in U2 are used when embossing. If you set this to "Yes", the document is embossed using the Braille document layout settings in U2. If you set it to "No", the document is embossed in the format specified in the original document.

To begin embossing the document, "Tab" to "Confirm" and press "Enter". Or, to cancel embossing, "Tab" to "Cancel" and press "Enter".
When "Enter" is pressed on "Confirm", "Print: Yes" is displayed. Press "Enter" on "Yes", and embossing commences. If you do not want to emboss, press "Space" to select "No", and press "Enter". You can also choose to create an electronic Braille file of the document according to the embossing preferences. To do this, press "Space" once more to select "Save as file", press"Enter", and the current document is saved as a "brl" file. If you've chosen to emboss, and there are problems with the Braille printer, the U2 shows an error message and returns to the open document.

2. Print Text
The dialog for the "Printer" is almost the same as for the "Embosser". After you input the values as in the embosser dialog, press "tab ("Space-4-5") and press "Enter" on "Confirm".  "Print: Yes" is displayed. If "Enter" is pressed, printing commences. If you press "Space" to move to "No", and press "Enter", printing is canceled, and the U2 returns you to the open document.

Note that the U2 is compatible with HP printers (level PCL 3 or higher), and with HP-compatible printers. And Epson printers using the ESCPR library. 

5.1.9 Settings

5.2.8 Clear Clipboard
To delete the text in the clipboard, select "Clear Clipboard" from the "Edit" menu, or press "Enter-D" while in a document.  

5.2.9 Select All
The "Select All" command selects all text in a document. To activate this command, choose "Select All" from the "Edit" menu, or press "Enter-A" while in a document. 

5.2.10 Insert from File
This command inserts another file in the document you are currently editing. To execute this command, select "Insert File" from the "Edit" menu, or press "Enter-I" while in a document. 
An insert dialog is displayed similar to the "Open" dialog. Select the file you want to insert, and press "Enter". The selected file is inserted at the beginning of the paragraph on which your cursor is located.
When you execute "Insert from File", if the format of the inserted file differs from your current document, the text inserted from the file is converted to the file format of the current document.  For example, if you insert "sample.txt" in "sample.brf" and save it, the saved file is "sample.brf".
* Note: If you insert a Braille file in to a text file, the Braille document is back-translated to text. Though the inserted text appears normally in grade 2, on rare occasions you might see differences in the back-translated text.

5.2.11 Insert Date

The unit prompts, "Move to page number". If you type a number here, the U2 takes you to the page number that corresponds with the number you type.  To move forward from your current location, put the PLUS sign in front of the number and letter. For example, to move forward five pages type "+f5". To move backward from your current location, type the minus sign in front of the number and letter. 
To move to a specific paragraph, execute "Go To Location". The U2 says, "Move to page number:" Before you type the number of the paragraph you want to go to, type p then type the number of the paragraph.  To move forward from your current location, type the PLUS sign in front of the number and letter. To move backward from your current location, type the minus sign in front of the number and letter. If the paragraph number you type is not valid, the U2 announces, "Move range error".
To move to a specific line, execute "Go To Location". The U2 says, "Move to page number:" Before you type the number of the line you want to go to, type L then type the line number. As when jumping by page and paragraph, use the plus or minus sign to move back or forward from your current location. 
You can also go to a specific line number on a specific page. The U2 enables you to type this information at the same time. To do this, when the U2 says, "Move to page number:" you can type the page number followed by the line number. For example, to move to the 3rd line on the 20th page, you would type "20 3".

5.6 Math Code Entry
Whether you are a student, or in a work position which requires a large amount of mathematic writing, you may find it advantageous and/or more natural to enter mathematic expressions using the Nemeth Code for Mathematic and Scientific notation or the more recent Unified English Braille code for math. As many of the symbols in the math codes overlap with those in the literary Braille code, it is necessary to enter a special numeric mode to ensure math entry is translated correctly. The math code used is defined by the "Math Code" setting in the "Settings" dialog under the 'File" menu.
Press "Backspace-N" to toggle this Mode on/off. When the numeric math mode is on, the unit announces, "Start Nemeth mode" or "Start UEB Math Mode". When the math mode is turned off, the unit announces, "End Nemeth Mode" or "End UEB Math Mode".
When the numeric math Mode is on, you may enter mathematic and algebraic expressions as you would normally enter them on a Perkins Brailler and they will be translated and spoken correctly by the notetaker. 
You may also import and export math using DOC and RTF files. If you save a file with Nemeth or UEB math entry as a DOC, a teacher or colleague may view or print the file and the math symbols will appear correctly. 
* Note: the "support Formatting" option must be set to "No" in the "Settings" dialog of the "File" menu for this to work correctly.
You may also import an RTF file and mathematic text will be rendered using Nemeth  or UEB math symbols.
See Appendix 3 for a list of supported Nemeth code symbols.

5.7 Reading PowerPoint Files
The Word Processor in the Braille Sense supports reading and navigating of Microsoft PowerPoint (PPT and PPTX) files. These files are opened as protected, read Only files, and you may navigate them using normal text reading commands. You may also move forward and back by slide using "Space" and "Backspace" respectively. As you navigate the text, new slide numbers are announced as you move from one slide to the next. Images and captions are also announced.
You can also bring up the list of slides in a presentation by pressing "Backspace-S". Use "Space-1" and "Space-4" to navigate the slides, and press "Enter" on the one you wish to navigate to.
If "Word View Display" is on, and you are connected to a VGA monitor, you can display the PowerPoint presentation to others, directly from your Braille Sense, as it would appear if displayed on your PC. 
Note: the Braille Sense cannot show animations, however other images and formatting should be rendered correctly.
