Labeling with text box:
This tutorial explains how to add text boxes as a labeling tool for graphics, pictures, or other elements in your document. Text boxes are a great tool for working with both text and graphics in the same document.
1. Open Your Microsoft Word Template
Open the Microsoft Word template you created with the “Prepare Your Workspace and Save as a Template” tutorial. This will be
a blank workspace with the settings pre-adjusted for the paper currently in use with your ViewPlus embosser.
2. Select Picture
For this exercise we will again use the AUTOSHAPES menu and insert a Smiley Face. Start with going to the AUTOSHAPES menu previously used in the “Drawing in Mi- crosoft Word” tutorial. Select BASIC SHAPES and continue with clicking on the SMILEY FACE. Choose OK to confirm your choice.
3. Insert and Resize Picture
Continue with placing the mouse pointer over the open work sheet. A cross-hair will appear on your screen. Hold down the left mouse button and drag the mouse pointer until the picture is the desired size.
For better tactile feedback, make sure to increase the thickness of the lines in the Smiley Face using the LINE STYLE tool as shown in the “Drawing in Microsoft Word” tutorial.
4. Create Text Labels
Text labels are an effective way to identify key elements of a graphic. The easiest and most effective method in Microsoft Word to create text labels is using the TEXT BOX feature. In this example, text boxes with the help of inserted lines will point to individual features of the Smiley Face. From the INSERT menu, select TEXT BOX.
Continue with placing the mouse over the
open worksheet. A cross-hair will appear on your screen, just as it did with the Smiley Face picture. Left click your mouse in the place you would like to begin your text box. Continue holding down the left mouse button while dragging the mouse indicator across the screen to create a text box that is the size and in
the location needed. To end the box, release the button.
HINT: After the text box is drawn, you can move and resize it using the points on the perimeter of the box.
Enter text by clicking your left mouse button inside the text box and begin typing. Label the right eye, left eye and mouth in this exercise.
5. Prepare Text Boxes for Translation
The text box font is set to default to Times New Roman, size 12. This size is less than half the size of standard braille which is size
29. Additionally, text boxes wrap text, allowing large words to be split up. When translated to braille, these split words can be read with a different meaning. This step will show how
to avoid these hazards.
First, adjust the font size. While still working inside the text box, highlight all text. Next, select the FORMAT menu, followed by FONT. Tab to the FONT SIZE window and type in 29. Select OK to close the dialog box.
Second, adjust the Text Box to compensate for text wrapping. This reshaping is done using resize handles - the white circles that appear on the border of the selected Text Box. Simply move the mouse pointer over one
of the resize handles and when the mouse pointer changes into a double arrow, click your left mouse button. Hold the left mouse button and drag the Text Box until desired size.
6. Add Indicator Lines
Select the LINE tool located on the DRAWING TOOLBAR. If the line tool is not visible at the lower left corner of your screen, select VIEW, TOOLBARS and DRAWING. Click on the LINE tool.
With the LINE tool selected, place your mouse pointer at the point that you want the line to begin. Click and hold down your left mouse button and drag the line to the desired position. Release mouse button. To make the lines distinct to touch, select the lines and use the LINE STYLE button to increase the weight
of the lines. If necessary, see the “Drawing in
Microsoft Word” tutorial for reference.
7. Add Title and Clean Up Picture
Insert a text box above the image that
says “This is a Smiley Face” for a title. Continue with selecting all of the text boxes (hold down the CTRL key to select multiple text boxes at once). Right-click on one and select FORMAT TEXT BOX. Continue with selecting the COL- ORS AND LINES tab page in the dialog box that opens up. Tab to LINE COLOR and select NO LINE. Finish by selecting OK.
HINT: If you do want to keep the outside
line, change the internal spacing in the box to move the braille text away from the line. This helps readability. To do this, select the text and choose FORMAT, then PARAGRAPH. Change the SPACING to 6 pt in both the BEFORE and AFTER boxes.
Your picture should now have the following appearance.
8. Translate and Emboss
Once you’ve finished labeling your drawing, trans- late the document into braille by going to TIGER, then TRANSLATE DOCUMENT or press Alt+G then T. To emboss the drawing, go to FILE, then PRINT.
