an empty window will open with the name you have specified. You can now start to create
your texts.
4.2.2 Open (Ctrl+O)
You can reopen a previously created and saved kbld file in order to print or edit the texts
created in it. By default, the Braille Labeler application will open the last used kbld file. Simply
call the "Open" function in the main window, or press "Ctrl+O". If you have made changes
to the current file, the program will alert you and you can save the changes beforehand. The
standard Windows window for opening files will then open. Select a previously created kbld
file and press the "Open" button.
4.2.3 Save (Ctrl+S) and Save As
Once you have created one or more texts, you should save the file for later reuse. If you
have already assigned your own name, it is sufficient to call up the "Save" function.
Alternatively, you can also press "Ctrl+S" or the "Save" icon. However, if you want to assign
a different name, use the "Save as" function. The standard Windows window for saving files
opens. Here you can specify a directory and a file name. By default, the name "Untitled.kbld"
is suggested.
4.2.4 Exit (Alt+F4)
To exit the Braille Labeler application program, either call the "Exit" function or press
"Alt+F4".
4.3 Settings
4.3.1 Braille input
In the "Braille" input field of the "Edit label" window, you can also directly enter your text in
Braille. You can enter this text in two different ways:
1. Standard style: The letters are entered normally with a standard PC keyboard.
2. 6-dots style: Letters are entered in braille, using the fds and jkl letter keys by default.
To change the letter keys used, refer to chapter 4.3.2 Braille key settings.
You can select the type of Braille input either via the menu "Settings/Braille Input" of the
main window, or via the button "Input Style" below the Braille input field. The active Braille
input type is displayed by the button.
4.3.2 Braille key settings
To change the keys used for 6-dot Braille input, call the function "Braille key settings". The
"Braille key settings" dialog box opens, in which you can set the letters for the dots 1 to 6,
as well as the Enter and Space keys.
By default, the letters fds are used for points 1 to 3 and the letters jkl are used for points 4
to 6. Input is made with v and space bar with n.
You can reset any changes made by clicking on the "Default" button.
