Your suggestion is good, and they could save it as a Word file, a Daisy file, a 
Braille file, and if she could get a copy of Kurzweil1000 she could take the 
*.KES file back into Kurzweil1000 and send the file directly from Kurzweil to 
the Book Port.

Hi Jeannette and list:

Get them to save it to something like text, which then can easily be 
transferred onto the bookport. That also gets us back around to what I thought 
the subject of this list was?

Cheers,
Dave

  Okay so I'm a dork.  I know it.  But I never use kurzweil.  I don't own the 
software myself because I'm poor and cheap, and usually I just grab stuff from 
bookshare.  However, I got a bunch of books scanned in the copy center where I 
work (a small college) and they handed me a cd for each scanned book.  When I 
plug it into my laptop, it comes up as a .kes software extension.  I can't open 
that with anything and it won't transfer to bookport.  I don't know if they 
used the wrong scanning software (I'm one of the first blindies to request 
services in a few eons I'm told) and I know nothing about kurzweil to save my 
own ass. 

  I've read the manual a few times and I'm sure I'm missing something because 
everyone I know loves loves loves kurzweil.  Does anyone have any idea what I 
should do, save google?  If I google one more thing today I might have to gnaw 
on my arm. 

  I'm all bookported out!
