Lisa: Sorry it has taken so long to get back to you. As far as I know, .rtf is not able to be recognized by the mPower. The .doc file can be, and you can correct scanos easily. Hope this helps.

My next question is, can you use doc or rtf files in the word processor? I would like to be able to fix scannos.

I would think it would recognize .rtf, but it does not seem to. Lots of switching and manipulating the files, but for reading in Braille and if one cannot afford an Apex or Braille Sense in a newer model, mPower works. As I said, if I ever have to go to totally proofing in Word, I either have a very patient mentor or I definitely begin scanning, and right now I do not have the room to scan so I would just have to stop volunteering. Oh yes, you do know when you enter on the book in mPower word processor that you will next see something about review options. Just enter once again and hang on. Some books take a long time to open. What you need to see is "This is a text document." Now you can begin reading with the thumb keys. Hope I have helped some. Anything else you need to know, just ask, and I will try to help.

Mine seems to recognise txt files. However, I have not tried doc files in the word processor Thanks Lisa Sent from my iPhone On Dec 19, 2012, at 6:44 AM, Regina Alvarado <reggie.alvarado@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Going to chime in here!
