Before undertaking this, go to your computer's control panel, select Folder Options, and check "Show hidden files." That's the only way to get Windows to allow you to return those processed files to your computer, and they can only be read on the Book Port or equivalent device. If there are numerous files and folders involved, a card reader would be a better and quicker means of effecting the transfer. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bronwyn Tindall" <btindall@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, December 18, 2005 2:05 PM Subject: [bookport] transferring files > Hi list > Can i transfer files from bookport back into my documents. > I lost the original file in my documents. > Bronwyn > > > >
