Hi, Julie. I sent the file to your e-mail address, but you must not have gotten it, so I will try to send it from the list. It will be a BRF attachment.

I am the friend of whom Linda Adams spoke. However, I was making the mistake of trying to save it in SAVE AS, instead of SAVE ATTACHMENT, and I was trying to open it. I took your suggestion and saved it on my compact flash without opening it, and that worked.By the way: The file was a transcription of the chatroom meeting which took place this week on validation. Linda transcribed a summary of the session,organizing it for easy accessability. She did this so that Julie Morales and I could know what went on, and her transcription was superb!!!! Thank you, Linda.

What is your friend trying to do with the file? Do they want to read it on a Braille display, or open it ina word processor such as Word or WordPad? Windows doesn't know by defaulthow to open a brf file the way it does a txt or rtf file. You have to tell Windows what program it needs to use. Windows has a list of such extensionsand the programs that are associated with them, and brf isn't yet on the list apparently. If this is just a one time thing, your friend could just rename the file with an rtf or txt extension without actually converting it, then Windows will use whatever program it usually uses to open such files. If they are trying to read it on a Braille display, if they have a Compact Flash card, then they can just keep the brf extension and copy the file to the card without opening it. If your friend regularly wants to open brf files in a word processor such as WordPad or Word, then they need to go into the OpenWith section and read down the list of choices of programs Windows lists andselect the one they want Windows to use.

I just tried to send a file done in braille on the BrailleLite as an e-mail attachment to someone. My machine let me insert the file, which I gave a BRF extension, as an attachment, but when the person tried to open, the message was that Windows had to find a program to open it throughthe control panel. Is there a simple, straight-forward to send a braillefile intact by e-mail, or must it always be converted to text or Word first? If there is a simple way using a Compact Flash card, please let me know stepby step. Thank you.
