Hello Bertha: When using the Save-As option, you will be given a chance to save in .kes format. Make sure you have the keyboard enabled and not just the keypad. To start the process assuming that you have scanned a page do the following: 1. press <alt>-f to bring up the file menu. 2. Press the down arrow until you hear "save-as" 3. Press enter 4. You will be given a file name. Press the <end> key and backspace untill all the name is erased. Then type the full path for the name such as c:\demo This is critical otherwise your file will be very deep in the directory structure and hard to find. 5. press the <tab> key. This gets you to the list of possible formats. 6. Press the down-arrow until you hear the format you want. 7. Press <tab> to go to the SAVE button and press enter. Your file will then be saved. If you have opened a large file such as a book, this can take a few minutes. K1000 will usually tell you when the saving is done. Hope this helps.

Scan with K1000. 2. Read the document and make corrections for misscanned words. 3. Save the document using the Save-As selection in the file menu. I would typically use MSWord as the saved format. 4. Optionally, open the document in Word and do further editing. 5. Use Duxbury to open the Word file and proceed to translate and emboss. Note K-1000 does have an option to save in a brf format but I haven't had experience with this. It is certainly possible to skip step 4 if you don't have MSWord software. In my experience, I think it unlikely that you can just scan a document and emboss it without proofreading it. Hope this helps.
