Hi Catherine, As a rule, Braillenote won't load Word 2003 upwards files, it will load 97/2000. So if you want to be sure, save a Word file in that format.

Personally I use a BrailleNote and am very happy with it despite its problems. But I think whatever you do you should have a thorough look at any unit before you buy, and preferably look at a few different ones. Also ask users what they like/don't like about what they're using. e.g. the BN has some annoying problems coping with some Word documents (note I say "some" but so far I haven't figured out/noted anyone else saying, a rule for figuring out which ones the BN will have a problem with and which it won't). The BN has other pros and cons too and if you want to know more please write to me privately at catherineturner2007@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Catherine On 5/27/08, Mike Cassidy <mike.cassidy@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi listers, > > I'm looking to upgrade my Braille Lite to one of the new notetakers. > Which one to go for is the question: Braillenote, Pacmate Omni, > Braillesense, or any other?
