Navigation:  7: Speech Environments > 7.3: Saving SET files

Here is an example to demonstrate the method for saving the current speaking environment:

 

1. Press CTRL-BACKSLASH to access the Window-Eyes Voice Control Panel.

2. Press ALT to activate the menu bar.

3. Press 'F' to pull down the File menu.

 

If you do not wish to change the name of the SET file, press 'S' for Save. Otherwise Press 'A' for Save As. A branching submenu will pull down.

 

Choose SET file. Window-Eyes will open its Save As dialog box with an edit box for you to name the SET file. You can accept the name already given, which will be a new file name based on the current SET file name but slightly different, or you can key in a different name of your liking. You can also tab to a list box immediately below, which contains the names of all SET files. You can move up and down this list with arrow keys to select one to overwrite.

 

Press ENTER. Window-Eyes will open its File Settings dialog box asking if you want to confirm the association. The dialog has two buttons, Yes (the default button), and No.

 

Choose one of these two buttons and press ENTER. No matter whether you have chosen Yes, or No, Window-Eyes will save the SET file, close the dialog, and deactivate the menu bar. If you have chosen Yes, then the next time you start Windows, your new SET file will be the active and associated SET file and would be running as the Window-Eyes speaking environment. If you have chosen No, the SET file would still be saved, but will not be associated. It is recommended here that you use the conventional .00x (where 'x' is a number from 0-9) for the file extension, but you may use any three-character extension you wish.

 

Note: Window-Eyes saves some association information in files with .WE extensions. If you move SET files from an installed copy of Window-Eyes to another computer, you must copy these files as well, or Window-Eyes will not make associations in the next computer.

 

Window-Eyes will also take this opportunity to save your current global settings. For more information on global settings, refer to Section 5.
