Hi Sharon, I wonder if the file accidentally got saved with no extension. Kurzweil usually tacks on the kes extension whenever you don't specify one so this is kind of odd, but it's a possibility. I would go find the file using Windows Explorer or something and see what extension it has. Then maybe use Explorer to rename it with a .kes extension, and then go in Kurzweil and try reopening again.
