No matter Ann.  It is a Toggle command, so your student should be able
to tell you if she can see a bright yellow bar at the bottom of the
screen.
 
George,

        I did try control plus f8 and could tell that nothing changed.
I did not see a translated line in the print document.  I've never been
able to get that feature to work for me.  I think it might be a visual
thing that jaws doesn't recognize or communicate.

                Global - Views.  Also Ctrl + F8.

                        George: Where in the DBT menus would I go to set
up the yellow translated line to be seen all the time?

                                Hi Ann,
                                 
                                Why don't you install your JAWS as a
demo, and run the sessions in 30-40 minute slots?
                                 
                                Anyway, suggest you set DBT up so that
the yellow Translated line at the bottom of the screen is available in
all views.  That way, when in a print document, she will see what it
will look like in braille, and in a braille document will see the
translation.  (Not always 100%, but hopefully good enough for what you
need right now)

                                Thanks George.  I've got a feeling this
training will be difficult for me to conduct since there will be no
speech and I will have to rely on the student to tell me what she is
seeing on the screen and if she doesn't know braille, I doubt she will
be able to identify what she is seeing.  George, how is the braille
situated in relation to the print on the screen?

                                In the absence of information, all I can
say is that of it is ZoomText screen enlargement software, the answer is
"YEs!"

                                I'm a speech user and I'm about to do
some Duxbury training with a person who uses a large print screen
reader.  Can someone write me and tell me if the large print screen
readers show both the brint and the braille in a Duxbury braille
document?
