[nabs-l] print documents and Braille Note

[bookwormahb at earthlink.net]

Humberto,
It will read .doc files. But I just thought I'd convert them so I can type 
in grade 2 braille; you have to type in computer braille unless it’s a 
keysoft braille file.

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

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.
