Janet,

 

If she had an windows-xp computer and upgraded to vista or maybe even
windows-7 I may know what happen.

 

There an issue with the printer setup button not appearing. 

All your student needs to do is when she is in the printer setup area where
the button should be just press Alt-P on your keyboard, this will allow her
to select her printer.

As far as being up able to print in sim-braille; it could be that the
sim-braille will work once the correct printer is selected.

As for saving in .brf format, I'm not sure none of my students have not had
any difficultly have your student try to printing sim-braille and save as in
.brf after they correctly configure the printer.

 

If you if that doesn't work let me know and I'll try to see if something
else might be the cause.

 

Best of luck;

 

Sincerely yours, 

 

Barry

Subject: [duxuser] Perky Duck query

 

I have had something strange happen with Perky Duck. A trainee is using it
to direct enter braille. She installed it on her previous computer and it
worked fine. She could also print simbraille and save her dxb as brf. Now
she has installed it on a new computer, from the same setup file, and she's
lost those options. In "printer setup" the printer button is just missing so
she can't select her printer. And in "save as" the drop down menu no longer
offers brf. Has anyone else experienced this? She's using Windows 2007.

Janet
