To avoid a possibly misleading interpretation of what Marta has said here, be aware that once the transfer program is running, you *can* use Windows Explorer to send files to the BP. Select the file or files you want to send; press ALT+F to open the Files menu; press the letter N to open the Send To submenu and locate Book Port; press ENTER and the file(s) are sent using the transfer software. You do *not* have to use the transfer software to select the files and initiate the transfer and I almost never do. -----Original Message----- From: bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Yerba Bruja Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2008 5:48 AM To: bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bookport] Re: creating folders You could use the bookport transfer utility, but you don't have to. You can use the regular folder creating utilities in my computer or windows explorer. However, the transfer of written books and documents, be they in electronic braille, word, rich text, or plain text format *must* be done through the device's transfer protocol. Marta
