Guide 9.03

Dolphin Guide 9.03 is packed with fixes and improvements for reading web pages and PDF documents, as well as a new option to protect friends email address details when sending emails with BCC.

New features in Guide 9.03

• BCC your emails: Send an email with a CC and a BCC. After you have written your email, Guide provides the option to add a CC and BCC before sending it. Sending emails using BCC is ideal if you would like to send an email to lots of people, but you don’t want everyone to know everyone else’s email address.
• Read web pages in greater detail: You can now read the next letter or the next word on web pages. Use the right arrow key to read the next letter on a web page. Hold down control and press the right arrow key to read the next word.
• Read PDF documents easily: Guide 9.03 now reads PDF documents using the web browser. After selecting your PDF, Guide automatically opens the web browser ready for you to start reading. Read line by line using the up and down arrow keys or word by word using control + right / left arrow.  You can even read letter by letter using right / left arrow.  To close your PDF document, press escape to open the address box and type the word “close”. For more PDF options, press escape to open the address box and type the word “options”.
• Print multiple envelopes: You can now print multiple addresses from your address book either as a list or onto multiple envelopes. To print multiple addresses, select contacts from your address book using the spacebar, then press enter to select whether you would like to print your selected contact’s details as a list, or to print their addresses onto envelopes.

Known issues

Dolphin is aware of problems listening to certain BBC Listen Again programs with Guide. This is due to recent changes to the way programs are shared from the BBC. We appreciate how much BBC Listen Again is valued by Guide customers. Dolphin's developers are working on a solution to this problem. We hope to make Listen Again available in Guide as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience.
