I have the files on the Braille note, I don't know about other devices
but assume you can since I did not have to state which device I was
using.

Rose, Can you put a porta book on the Braille Lite m40 flash card?? I
am
not amiliar with those portabook files. I do know it is extremely hard
to
get info by phone. You keep getting those lovely messages about "I am
either away from my desk" etc., and that can add up during the day and
on
long distance. So I will have to order by snail mail. <lol>

NBP has a book called WordWise and it is pretty good. I think it is
about $20 give or take, it has been a long time since I have read it but
I got the porta braille copy and it resides on my Braille Note.

Oops, I meant PC World, the computing magazine NLS chooses to give us,
not that much of it is of any use to a home user.

Rose,
Where did you get pc word? I need a book on Word, but one where it does
not
just refer you to Figure so and so.
Thanks.

I notice some errors in my copies of PC Word, in hard copy occasionally.
It does not cause me a problem reading.

Did you notice where the books came from? One possibility is that they
are the jiffy braille books produced in places like NBP and they put a
notice in the front of their books that because it's jiffy braille there
may be some errors. Just as a possibility anyway.

Hi Pam,
I have been noticing that for quite sometime with Web Braille books.
And for NLS you are supposed to pass a test to be a proofreader!!!

I don't know if this is unusual, or if I'm just more tuned into this
type of thing now and didn't notice before. But I found some definite
scanning errors in a book I was reading from web braille. Did you bum
that, instead of did you burn that? And dean laundry, instead of clean
laundry. Definite scanner errors. I don't know how I thought NLS books
were produced but I didn't really think the originals were scanned.
