SD cards are also the same thing. On your laptop, there should be a thumb drive slot to place the device in. It’s different on different computers. Once you put it in, it might automatically bring up the device, but usually you have to open it. Again, it will depend on your computer, but likely you will go to the start menu, find computer and then find the device. You can name a thumb drive, so when you bring it up, it’s easier to find. For example, mine is named Christmas, so when I’m in the menu, I can navigate to it quickly. Once the device is open, you can create folders just like you do on your laptop. You can also copy and paste documents and folders onto the drive. I always recommend people use a thumb drive or SD card to back-up work. Once I’m done working on something, I back it up to a thumb drive.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Bridgit<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b>From:</b> Stylist <stylist-bounces@nfbnet.org> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Sandra Streeter via Stylist<br><b>Sent:</b> Friday, June 28, 2019 11:01 AM<br><b>To:</b> stylist@nfbnet.org<br><b>Cc:</b> Sandra Streeter <sandrastreeter381@gmail.com><br><b>Subject:</b> [Stylist] basic tutorial on prepping docs for sighted readers<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>More great suggestions! As I told Annie privately the other day, I am going to copy/paste much of them into a Word doc I can refer back to as needed. I did have a little experience with APA during my student days long, long ago, but of course have forgotten quite a bit—though I may still have the hardcopy Braille doc of instructions. At this point, I have a chapbook draft awaiting my fine-tuning (on a thumb drive; I know this sounds dumb, and maybe someone could also give me pointers on this—I am deathly afraid of losing all that work through a stupid thumb drive mistake I might make in trying to save the material once I do finish the fine-tuning; so, could someone explain using a thumb drive—the only successful experience I’ve ever had is using the NLS carts with the BARD site, so I am a total newbie at anything but editing right on my desktop computer)! I have a draft novel, which I think is in OpenBook awaiting more attention. Also considering church newsletter articles, and/or a little church lit mag, and you never know where life may take you career-wise—I might someday be tasked with doing some PR materials. So, I have given a bit of thought about the idea you’ve all presented: that graphics are less preferred except for PR and advertising—that was my hunch. You’re all giving me a lot to run with, which I appreciate more than I can say.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Sandra<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:13.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif'>Something is wrong, I know it, if I don't keep my attention on eternity.
