[nabs-l] print documents and Braille Note

[Marsha Drenth]

If you have a txt, doc, or rtf file on your thumb drive. You don't need to
convert it. The BN can read it. If you do want to convert it, move or copy
the file from the thumb drive to the BN memory. Open the file, and then use
the Spacebar and the letter "S", that will bring up the save menu. There you
can choose which file type you want. It will ask if you want to rename the
file. You can find instructions on how to do this and more in the user guide
that's on the BN.

Subject: [nabs-l] print documents and Braille Note

Hi all,
I have a Braille Note m'power. 
It has several ports.
So I can put documents on a USB drive and read from the USB drive on the
BrailleNote.

I know how to save the text files on the USB drive.
But to read in the BrailleNote I think it needs to be in .brf format.
How do I convert from the typical .doc file to a .brf file?
Can I do this on the BrailleNote end?

Alternatively, I have an old version of Duxbury braille translator, DBT, and
I can save the file that way.  But I am hoping there is a simple way to put
files on a thumb drive and read them on the BrailleNote.

I have some documents from class and some documents of my own I'd like to
read on the BrailleNote in grade 2 braille as opposed to computer braille.
So if you know how to transfer a text file that says .doc to the
BrailleNote, let me know.

Thanks.
Ashley
