11.2 BookShare Download

The "BookShare Download" program provides direct search and download access to the repository of books and periodicals available from www.bookshare.org.

11.2.1 What is BookShare?

BookShare is a repository of books and periodicals in accessible formats containing over 150,000 titles at the time of this writing. The collection is increased through the work of volunteers who scan and proofread books, federal grants funding the purchasing and digitizing of various types of material, and contributions from book publishers of electronic versions of their published texts.

BookShare titles are available in various formats including DAISY, BRF, NIMAC, and audio. The Braille Sense U2 supports access to the DAISY and BRF formats via "BookShare Download". 

To become a BookShare member, you must complete BookShare's application process, including providing proof of reading disability, and pay the associated yearly membership fees. Payment can be monitary, or users can earn credit toward their membership fees by scanning material for the collection and/or proofreading material scanned by others. While the majority of the BookShare titles require you to have a membership to access them, several thousand titles in the collection are public domain works, and thus, can be accessed by anyone, regardless of whether you have a bookShare membership.

When you execute "Open Hyperlink", the link under your cursor is opened in your default web browser. 
11.4.2.3 Set User Table 
The "Set User Table" function defines the scope of the header cells to more accurately allow you to identify the categories in which items belong in complicated spread sheets. For example, let's assume you have an Excel sheet containing the data below: 

Cell A1: Price table (title of the table) 
Cell C2: April 4, 2013 (date) 
Cell A3: Model name (header) 
Cell B3: part number (header) 
Cell C3: price (header) 

Now, let's say you have 100 in Cell C8. If you check the header cell when on cell C8, you would normally receive the information for cell C2 "Date". However, to know what "100" refers to, you actually need row and column header information for A8 "model name" and C3 'price". If you set 
"User Table" from A3 to C8, you will receive the information in C3 when you ask the Braille Sense U2 to read the column header. 

You may also encounter a situation where there are different headers in the middle 
of a worksheet, for example, if there is a table within a table. To receive accurate information when checking the header cell information for the cells in the inner table, you can set the "User Table" to establish the correct boundaries. 
To execute "Set User Table, press "Space-M" or "F2" to open the menu and press "Enter" on "File". NAVIGATE to "Set User Table" using "Space-4" and press "Enter". Or, press "Enter-T (dots 2-3-4-5)" directly from within "Excel Viewer".

By default, the beginning and end boundaries are defined by the beginning and ending cells of the worksheet. Type your desired beginning and ending cells in the edit boxes, and press "Enter" or Tab to "Confirm" and press "Enter" to set the "User Table". To ccancel setting the "User Table", Tab to "Cancel" and press "Enter" or press "Space-E (dots-1-5)" or "Space-Z (dots-1-3-5-6)". 

11.4.2.4 Cell Properties 
The "Cell Properties" function gives you format information about the current cell. To execute "Cell Properties", press "Space-M" or "F2" to open the menu and press "Enter" on "File". NAVIGATE to "Cell Properties" using "Space-4" and press "Enter". Or, press "Enter-I (dots 2-4)" directly from within "Excel Viewer". 
The "Cell Properties" dialog contains 2 controls: the Properties" list, and a "Close" button. You can move among the controls using "Tab (F3 or Space-4-5)" or "Shift-Tab (Space-F3 or Space-1-2)". 
The "Properties" list contains the following information: "Font name", "Font size", "Attributes", "Format", "Alignment" and "Outline". Move among the items in the list by pressing "Space-1" and "Space-4". To close the "Cell Properties", Tab to Close" and press "Enter", or press "Space-E (dots-1-5)". 

11.4.2.5 Quick Setup 
The "Quick Setup" function operates similar to the "Set User Table" function, except instead of defining the boundaries manually, the beginning cell is automatically set as the cell at your current cursor position, and the end cell is automatically set as the last cell containing data. To execute "Quick Setup", press "Space-M" or "F2" to open the menu and press "Enter" on "File". NAVIGATE to "Quick Setup" using "Space-4" and press "Enter". Or, press "Enter-X (dots 1-3-4-6)" directly from within "Excel Viewer". When you execute this command, Braille Sense announces, "User Table saved" and you are return to your previous position. 
11.4.2.6 Exit 
This command terminates the "Excel Viewer" program and returns the Braille Sense U2 to the "program" menu. You can exit "Excel Viewer" by pressing "Space-z (dots 1-3-5-6)", or by selecting "Exit" from the "Excel Viewer" File menu. 

11.4.3 Go To Menu 
The "Go To" menu contains several items pertaining to navigation to specific locations or text in an Excel file. The "Go To" menu contains the following items: "Find", "Move to Cell", "Next sheet", "Previous Sheet", "Sheet List", "Set Mark", "Go to Mark", "Delete Mark", "Move to Previous Group" and "Move to Next Group". These items are discussed in detail in the following sections. 
11.4.3.1 Find 
The find function allows you to search for text in an Excel file. Once the text is found you are taken to that position in your File. To execute this command, press "Space-m (dots 1-3-4)" or "F2", and move to "Go To" by pressing "Space-4" and press "Enter". Move to "Find" by pressing "Space-1" or "Space-4", or you can press "f (dots 1-2-4)" from the "Go To" menu. While reading a file, pressing "Space-f (dots 1-2-4)" activates the "Find" command.

You can move among the fields by pressing "tab ("Space-4-5")" or "shift-tab ("Space-1-2")". 
1. Text to find 
The first field in the "Find" dialog is "Text to find". In this edit box, you can type the text that you want to find. To find the text immediately, press "Enter". To set other fields in the dialog, press "tab ("Space-4-5")" to move to the next field. 
2. Range 
The next item in the dialog allows you to choose how much of the Excel file you want to search. The options are, "Current Sheet", "Workbook", "Current Column", "Current Row" and "Range". If you choose "Range" the "Range" edit box appears in the tab order after the "Range" list. You can enter specific cell coordinates to precisely define the area of the file you want to search. 
3. Match case 
The next field is "Match case". The default value is "No". To change the value, press "Space". 
4. Search direction 
The next field is "Search direction". The default direction is "Forward". If you would like to change the search direction, press "Space" to toggle between "Forward" and "Backward". After you type in the text to be found, and set the search direction, press "Enter" To find the text immediately. 
5. Confirm 
To execute "Find", press "Enter" on "Confirm". You can also execute "Find" by pressing "Enter" on "Text to find" or "Search direction". 
6. Cancel 
To cancel the "Find" function, press "Enter" on "Cancel". Or, you can cancel the "Find" command by pressing "Space-z (dots 1-3-5-6)". 
If Braille Sense U2 finds the text you typed, the cell with the text is displayed. If there was no text that matched what you typed, the cursor remains in its current location and the Braille Sense U2 announces "not found". This function saves the text last searched for, as well as the direction, so you can use it again to search for the next occurrence of the text. 
When using the find command, the current cursor position is very important. If the cursor is located at the beginning of the File, it is necessary to select the "Forward" search direction. If the cursor is located at the end of the file, it is necessary to select "Backward" as the direction used for searching. If you do not choose the correct search direction in regards to the text you're looking for and your current position, the text is not found even if it is present in the file. Choosing an appropriate range is important for the same reason. By default, the range is set to the current worksheet. If the text you're searching for is located in a different worksheet, you will receive the message "Not found" if you do not set the range to search the entire workbook. 
11.4.3.2 Move to Cell
