If you are doing method 1, you will. For method 2, you will unpack the file on the PC and put your password in then. You only have to use your password once, I usually delete the "packed" books later, and just keep the unpacked files. Hope that clears it up, smile. Shelley L.

Do you mean I'll have to enter my password on the BrailleNote? Confusion strikes again lol! Littlekat ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shelley L.

Hi Little Cat. or Lisa, Here is pretty much how I do bookshare files. Depending on the version of Keysoft you have I have keysoft 5.1. First, of all, keysoft 5.1 or 5.0 can open .bks files easily so, don't worry about renaming them. Just copy the unpacked book to the Braillenote. Then when you hit enter on the file, when attempting to "open" it, it will ask for your user password, type that in, I advise head phones, or no speech as it says it out loud, and then, wellah, you can read to your hearts content. For older versions. 1. Download the .Braille version of the book. 2. unpack the book using the Bookshare unpack utility. 3. Copy the unpacked .brf file to your braillenote either through active sinc, or a compact flash card if you have one of those. 4. Open the file using Keyword, or the Book Reader, just as you would any other file. Hope this helps. Shelley L. Rhodes and Judson, guiding golden juddysbuddy@xxxxxxxxxxxx Guide Dogs For the Blind Inc.
