Hello Oleg:
First a suggestion:
your client and you can email to support@xxxxxxxxxx
if emailing us directly please include the DBT license/serial number.
(Short form should be fine something like G1234-5678) It can be found inside
DBT by going to HELP and then to ABOUT.
Second in that email or even here we would need to know what
a) Index Embosser and version and even firmware version is being run?
b) What version of DBT Win is being run?
Cheers,
Neal

Subject: [duxuser] Right-Aligning Some Text?
Hello all,
Now that Index Braille has pretty much discontinued their WinBraille
development, our customers tend to purchase DBT licenses with their
braille embossers. Hence, we have a bunch of new people coming to use
DBT, and they ask some interesting questions. Basically, DBT does not
respond the way the customers would expect. Here is a particular
scenario, outlined by a sighted customer. He says:
"I need to right-align some text in my document. Instinctively, I select
the text and press CTRL+R. However, instead of right-aligning my text,
DBT asks about deleting selected text and replacing it with the code
I've just chosen. Of course, I say "No".
Then, I discover that right-aligning is achieved by SHIFT+F7. Again, I
select my text and press SHIFT+F7. When asked about replacing the text
with the chosen code, I say "No". Result: nothing happens.
Next step: I select my text, press SHIFT+F7 and click "Yes". Result: my
text disappears.
Finally, I position the cursor on the first character of my text, then
press SHIFT+F7. Result: only the first word of my text is right-aligned.
Everything else appears on the next line. This is pretty frustrating, to
say the least".
So, folks, here you have a quote from the customer. Actually, I was sort
of baffled upon discovering that DBT would not right-align the entire
line of text. After consulting the Manual, I found about [FR][:] and
[FR][:] sequences. But, does it really have to be so difficult,
especially for someone who is absolutely new to braille?
So, two questions:
1. How do you right-align some text without jumping through the hoops?
2. Why can't I just select a text and have DBT perform subsequent
actions on that text? Is there a command or a setting to make this possible?
Thank you for any input you may provide!
Sincerely,
Oleg Shevkun
