Hi.  I am using Office 2000 also.  The animal books did open just fine in 
Word.  It was when I went to submit them that I got complaints that they 
were invalid files.  Opening in Word, adding and deleting a character and 
saving eliminated the problem and cut the file size in half.  With the 
Venus book, it crashed Word every time, so I think there is a bug in the 
Braillenote.  Actually, I think the bug might be in Kurzweil since I had 
problems opening other rtf files it generates.  You submitted _Blind 
Allies_ by Kendrick.  I could not open that file in Word either and I think 
that was a K1000 thing.

What is really odd about all this is that Windows Wordpad opens the files 
just fine.  I don't like to use Wordpad though because it scrambles the 
columns.  In other words, I get random words all over the screen which 
don't make sense, and I think it is somehow displaying two columns of text 
at once.  Word does not have that problem.  I am using Windows 98 SE and 
Office 2000.
