Our administrative assistant actually went looking for a bell that could be
used in Word.  She found a couple of possibilities but we never followed up
on it.  Can't remember why but we just decided to wait until Duxbury fixed
the problem-as they were going to include it in their next version or
something.

Well that's one up for Duxbury - Word doesn't have such a feature. (Smile)

I set mine to 4 and four characters before the righthand end of the line,
the bell rings. This is a wonderful feature for JAWS users. I wish MS-Word
had such a feature. Maybe it does and I don't know about it.

OOPS!  Sorry, Anne.  Looks like I forgot to put an Alt Tab on the screen
shot.  My bad.

 

However, if you call up the Global, View Preferences dialog, the first field
is labelled "Margin Bell Position:"  Enter a value in the field - in your
case, a zero.

I went on a search to find out how to set the margin bell. This is what I
found in the Help menu.

 

"Margin bell position: This feature is ONLY available when using 6 key entry
with a braille file.  This feature is much the same as the bell on a Perkins
brailler, and indeed you will hear an actual Perkins bell sound though your
computer's sound card. (Assuming you have one)

In the illustration above, the sound will be emitted when you reach the 5th
last cell on the line.  To turn the feature off, enter"

 

As a JAWS user, I have no reference for the illustration above mentioned.
Can someone tell me how to set the margin bell?a position of zero.
