Hi Theresa, Thank you for explaining things so carefully. I don't think it will break Duxbury to buy one of these memory sticks, but could you please tell us what specific one you have?

I just want to open a duxbury file on the memory stick and it comes up "unable to open .sct file". I just store my document that I want to translate on a memory stick instead of a floppy disk. My laptop doesn't have a floppy storage spot. Let me explain this again. I have some "down time" at work when I choose to do some of my braille translation. So I type in a book or a ditto or something on my laptop in Duxbury Win. I save it on a memory sick in my laptop. After shutting down the memory stick properly I take it out and when I have a chance I take it to the PC in a different location and insert my memory stick in my card reader on my PC and open Dux Win. I go to "file" and "open" and go to the memory stick. I click on the duxbury file on my memory stick that I want to translate. It comes up in a print copy of Dux Win but when I go to translate it so I can emboss it the screen reads something like "unable to recognize .sct file". So I just copy/paste the document on a "new" duxbury file and translate it and it does translate and then embosses it beautifully. I was just puzzled as to what a .sct file was and I am still puzzled as to why my Dux Win program won't translate from a memory stick. It will work right off of a floppy or a CD Rom but not a memory stick. But no, I won't try to open an .sct file. It sounds like it is something way beyond me. I will leave that to you and your colleagues in the tech department. I hope this helps. Theresa
