When you enter on the book name use space with X or enter with X and you will, as you repeat the command repeatedly, see the types of different files you might need. When you see .doc just enter. By the way, hope you have a braille keyboard and not a qwerty or ignore this is the word and sorry for cluttering up your day. Hope it helps, though, and hope you can open in Word. Sometimes those BN files are a real bear!

Hi Debby.
That sounds like a good guess.  I don't know how to make the BN save as a
.doc file, though.  If anyone does, please let me know the trick.

Hi Tracy!

I don't have a BrailleNote, so I can't say specifically, but I'll take a
guess based on an experience I have.

I scan with OpenBook 7.  Although I can save the ark file directly as an
RTF, I don't, because MS Word doesn't like it.  I get some kind of error
that I can't remember what it is, because it's been about two years since
I
tried that.  I must save as a doc file first while still in
OpenBook. OpenBook's version of a Word document is Word version 6, 7, and
8, I think, so that's why Word 2003 doesn't like the RTF from
OpenBook.  Then I can open the doc file in Word by just hitting enter on
it, and, whether I leave it as is and change it by saving as an RTF or
first changing it to a Word 2003 doc file and then to an RTF, all is
well.  I wanted to experiment both ways when I first discovered the
problem.  Perhaps there is something with the BrailleNote file that is
similar.

 Klooge! But at least I have my work.
I'd still like to know why Word won't open the file directly, though.
