Hello All:
Yes, the Perkins Style Bell is there. But, if you are required to hyphenate words at the end of the braille line to maxamize the line, you will find that PerkiDux has Wordwrap and Jim Stanga and I have raised this question with Duxbury to have a feature to turn off/on the Wordwrap. We have not heard from Duxbury whether this will be added in a future update.

So, be aware!

Does DBT do that?

Hi George,

Thanks for helping me find the bell!

FYI: (for screen reader users)I went to global, then up arrowed one to view preferences.

I changed the 0 to 7 and then tabbed to okay.

I entered on okay the save the change.

After doing so, I opened a blank document and spaced 33 times and then I heard a Perkins brailler sounding bell.

How cool is that!

Glad to have the bell back!

Jim

Hi Jim,

Global Menu: View Options and it should be at the top of that dialog.

Hello:

I am using PerkyDuck Version 12.4

I seem to remember that in one of the older versions of PerkyDuck there was indeed a bell about 7 characters from the end of the line.

Now it seems to have gone away.

Could you please let me know where I might find the bell?

Thank you!

Jim Stanga
