Hi Reggie,

Since this is brief, I'm going to respond here.  I have a BrailleNote Apex, and 
it reads RTF files.  I wonder, if you upgraded your software (I know there are 
upgrades for all the BrailleNotes out now) if it might have that capability.

  Does anyone here have a BrailleNote they use for reading?  I have a question 
about file types.  You are welcome to contact me off list about this if you 
wish since this is not a BrailleNote list.  Here is my question:

   

  I download a book to proof or read, (most concerned with those I am 
proofing).  It is in RTF, of course.  I cannot open that RTF file after 
transferring it to my BrailleNote.  In order for me to read and proof, I need 
to first change the file to a .doc file, transfer it and read it from the BN 
and then reverse the process so I can format.  I am using Word 2003, 
Windows-XP.  My brailleNote is an MPower build 22 I think.  It is an older 
machine anyway.  I am trying to open in Keyword.  

   

  If anyone can help me with this, I would be extremely grateful! It would save 
me some steps and possible consequences I think would not happen, but sometimes 
things are lost when changing a file from one type to another.  So far this has 
been working with nothing returned, but I would rather proof in RTF.  Thanks.

  Reggie
