[nabs-l] print documents and Braille Note

[humberto]

Ashley:
You can, in fact, read .doc (Microsoft Word) files in your 
BrailleNote directly. All you have to do is find the document by 
using either the file manager (F from the Main Menu) or the 
wordprocessor (W from the Main Menu) and press enter on the word 
document you want to open. When KeySoft asks "Review the 
options?" just press N for no or hit enter. Or if you hit Y for 
yes on the "Review the options?" prompt, it'll ask you to 
translate it to Braille or something. But try it as I know, by 
heart because I also have a BrailleNote in which I am typing this 
message using grade 2! But your BrailleNote must be able to open 
.doc files immediately and perform instant translation on the 
braille display as you read it or edit it.

Cheers, Humberto

>Hi all,

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.
