Introduction to the Save as DAISY Add-in: Part 1

  • 0:01 - 0:06
    Hello and welcome to this DAISY Consortium tutorial on the Save as DAISY Add In for Microsoft
  • 0:06 - 0:09
    Word, in particular Microsoft Word 2010 which was released in December 2011.
  • 0:09 - 0:13
    This is one of a series of tutorials on the Save as DAISY Add-In for Word and in this
  • 0:13 - 0:20
    tutorial we’ll be focussing on downloading and installing the Save as DAISY Add-In.
  • 0:20 - 0:24
    If you’re new to the Save as DAISY Add In for Word then it’s essentially a way of
  • 0:24 - 0:31
    translating a structured Word document and translating or converting text into an audio
  • 0:31 - 0:36
    format which allows a user to navigate around the document, this is sometimes referred to
  • 0:36 - 0:41
    as a digital talking book. You can find out more about digital talking
  • 0:41 - 0:49
    books by visiting the DAISY Consortium, www.DAISY.org And as you can see here there is a range of
  • 0:49 - 0:54
    information about DAISY, talking books, standards and much more.
  • 0:54 - 0:59
    So now to get started - if you don’t have the Save As DAISY Add In in Word there’s
  • 0:59 - 1:05
    a good chance that it your 2010 Word document will look something like this one here. As
  • 1:05 - 1:10
    we tab thought the various menus on Word’s Ribbon there is currently only the default
  • 1:10 - 1:17
    tabs available. Once we’ve downloaded and installed the Save As DAISY Add In you’ll
  • 1:17 - 1:22
    see that an additional ‘Accessibility’ tab has been installed.
  • 1:22 - 1:27
    The easiest way to get the Save As DAISY Add In is from the DAISY Consortium site – there
  • 1:27 - 1:42
    are link on the left hand side menu which take you directly to the download.
  • 1:42 - 1:47
    So when the page appears in the browser it should be identical to this one here. There
  • 1:47 - 1:51
    is some information about the Save As DAISY Add In you can see on the menu here on the
  • 1:51 - 2:07
    left hand side and on the page here there are links to the download. Now if you are
  • 2:07 - 2:13
    not sure which version of Office you have on your computer system, to find out please
  • 2:13 - 2:22
    go up to File Menu then down to Help, and then if you look over to the right hand side
  • 2:22 - 2:37
    you see the Office Version there. On this computer here it's the 32-bit version. I’m
  • 2:37 - 2:44
    using the Internet Explorer browser, Version 9 here but it’s a similar process for other
  • 2:44 - 2:45
    browsers.
  • 2:45 - 2:52
    Okay, so I’m going to choose ‘Run’ and let the process run everything automatically.
  • 2:52 - 3:26
    I’ll just let you briefly see the download
  • 3:26 - 3:43
    and install process. When the Save As DAISY Add in has installed
  • 3:43 - 3:49
    it automatically launches Word 2010 and open up a document with some useful information
  • 3:49 - 3:54
    on where you can download the Add-In as well as some getting started guidance.
  • 3:54 - 3:59
    It’s also worth pointing out that if you look at the Windows start menu you’ll find
  • 3:59 - 4:07
    an additional DAISY Translator menu item where you’ll find an Accessibility Demofile, and
  • 4:07 - 4:15
    Instruction Manual and the Getting Started document.
  • 4:15 - 4:20
    Now if you open Microsoft Word, and tab through the menu items and find that the Add in hasn’t
  • 4:20 - 4:31
    appeared, similar to my one, then you’ll need to follow these additional steps.
  • 4:31 - 4:40
    In Word go to File, then to Options, and when the Options panel opens, select the Add Ins
  • 4:40 - 4:53
    item. This lists all the Add Ins in Word. Now it’s just a case of selecting the DAISY
  • 4:53 - 5:05
    Add in from the list and in the Com Add Ins select Go. Now make sure the Add In is ticked
  • 5:05 - 5:09
    and then Okay.
  • 5:09 - 5:17
    The Add In will now appear in the Ribbon as an Accessibility tab. If at any time the Save
  • 5:17 - 5:21
    As DAISY Add in disappears from the Ribbon, just follow the same process.
  • 5:21 - 5:26
    This is the Save As DAISY Add In for Word 2010. We’ll be covering some of the other
  • 5:26 - 5:31
    features in the next tutorial so once you installed your own Save As DAISY Add please
  • 5:31 - 5:37
    continue to the tutorial where you’ll learn how to create a basic talking book using the
  • 5:37 -
