[nabs-l] docx files on the braillenote

[Chris Nusbaum]

Hi Ashley,

It doesn't, except if you convert the DOCX file to a DOC, TXT, or 
RTF file.  Humberto, I think you misunderstood.

I didn't think it supported that file.  Do you speak from 
experience?

Hello,
I think the latest version of the Braille Note Apex, version 
9.01, does
support opening and reading .DOCX  extention, but not quite sure 
if you can
write .DOCX documents.  But, you can open them--which is a good 
thing.

Hi Vejas,

Unfortunately, DOCX files are unsupported with the BrailleNote as
of now.  The only thing you can do is put the files on a thumb
drive or SD card and convert it to a DOC or TXT file.

Hi All,
I am having a problem with DOCX files.  Today my Spanish teacher
gave me some files, and two were DOCX, which I can't read.  She
was unable to tell the difference between DOC and DOCX.  Do you
think there is a possible way to open DOCX files, maybe in the
next version?
Sincerely,
Vejas
