Ah right, well not to worry, guess it's txt then. It does make me wonder though, how would a sighted person feel if they had to spend £250 on a phone and then another£150 so they could see the menus...and then find out half of what they could see they couldn't use!...there would be hell to pay!

Well, Adobe doesn't work on the phone for us so, unless you can convert that .PDF to a .TXT document on your computer, you may not have much luck.

Ok thanks for letting me know Carol.  I'm just wondering what to try
first. I have a book, currently in .pdf format and I'm thinking if
it's going to be worth putting it onto the phone to read when I'm out
and about.  It's a learning/instructional book and I'll probably be
going over and over parts, so that's why I think it won't hurt to
have it on the phone.  Only thing is I can't see the phone being a
good environment to do this.  I've noticed adobe in the menu, so
might try the pdf aswell.  Oh wel decisions decisions, but thanks for
your experiences with this sort of thing, cheers Steve. -----

Steve,

I've also been able to transfer a text document via bluetooth and
this, though not really expected, appeared in my phone amongst my
received texts. It read fine though and was really only a test.

Hi Steve

If you send txt files from your PC to the phone, you can open them
in the Notes program, which should be under Office.

Eleanor, in which application on the N95 do you read text files? I'd be interested in trying this out on my N85, cheers Steve.

Hi
If I had a very long document as a text document on my N95 and
say I was listening to it for an hour!!! then if I exited it, would
I be able to pick it up again at the same point?  Guess I am
thinking along the lines of a book mark or something or a Search
option to find where I was.

Eleanor
