WindowsKey+F9 is a generic command that can be used to capture the contents of a document displayed in most any application. It has been described specifically for capturing web pages and e-mail messages.

However, you can also retrieve the contents of a document in your word processor by pressing WindowsKey+F9 while you are working in, or reading, the document in the word processor itself. When the document is displayed in the WintextCom Reader, you can begin reading it and press ENTER to save it in the library. Press Escape to abandon it and return to your word processor or other application where you initiated the capture. You can use the WintextCom Reader simply to read a document instead of using its native application even if you are no immediately interested in saving specific information, and if it is lengthy and you want to stop reading, save it in the library and resume reading where you left off at a later stage. This capability is extremely useful for quickly reading documents and being able to easily save them to resume if you do not read right through at a single sitting, you do not need to extract e-mail attachments, for example.

In many cases, WintextCom recognises a document and opens it in the WintextCom Reader when you press WindowsKey+F9. "*Document*" is displayed on the status line instead of a real filename in this situation. In some cases, WintextCom Reader cannot establish how to read the document directly and will attempt to retrieve it by copying it to the Windows clipboard. In that case, "*Clipboard*" is displayed on the status line.

You can also press WindowsKey+F9 to save telephone conversations, answerphone messages and SMS text messages in the library. If you are saving information that you are already reading in WintextCom's reading or communication Braille window, the library opens immediately for you to enter a filename without capturing the information in a separate document. Note that although this technique can be used to save keyboard communications, it should be used at intervals to save long sessions and keep appending to the file, or some text may be lost due to scrolling.
