Thanks Nicole. So many document options and I'm not sure what all mean and 
what is the best.
I'll try keyword braille then.

You actually want the keyword Braille instead of BRF. BRF does not save
place markers. Also, single carriage returns are often lost during
translation to BRF.

Thanks. I'll look for .brf format then.
I have a braille style keyboard.

If I'm not mistaking, .brf which is a plain braille format should be
available on mPower, but keyword braille format should be good as well.
