[nabs-l] docx files on the braillenote

[Nicole B. Torcolini at Home]

Okay, yes, there is a BrailleNote list, which would be a better place to 
ask. However, to hopefully put an end to the confusion:
1. No, the BrailleNote Apex, and all other models for that purpose, do not 
support docx files.
2. You could write to HumanWare asking them to add docx support, but I would 
not hold my breath on it being in the next Keysoft version.
