Hi Norm,
Have you tried saving the file as a .txt file while you are in Windows Internet
Explorer?
just open the file menu, arrow down to "save "as", and save the file as a text
file, then you should be able to load it on to your book port.
I have also saved .doc, .rtf, and .html files to the bookport, and the .rtf
files seem to work best, out of these I've mentioned.
Best Regards,
DRB

Walt,
I have MS Word installed, but I cannot open this .htm file in MS Word. I
think it has something to do with the "active content" problem.
If I try to open this file in Kurzweil I get an error message that Kurzweil
has encountered a problem and has to close...
It's frustrating because from "My Computer" I can click on the file and it
opens just find and I can read it. It has headings marking sections and
chapters. I was hoping to transfer it to the bookport in such a way to preserve
the navigation marks. I assume I would have to open it in Kurzweil and then
save it as a Daisy file, but... I can't seem to open it anywhere but on my
computer with "My computer".
When I do that, it seems to open it with Internet Explorer.
Thanks for your help...

Do you have Microsoft Word installed on that computer? What happens if you
attempt to transfer a file with a .doc extension? I'm not 100% sure, but I
think that in order for .htm or .html files to work on the BP, you need to
have Word installed.

List,
I received an .htm file as an attachment to an email. When I try to
transfer it to the bookport, I get the error message: ffdoc: can't
open <filename>.htm.
I thought .htm files worked okay on the bookport. Any suggestions?
