I know Word is very popular, but I _loathe it. And I wish I didn't have to
view thos dollar sign fm when I'm reading a Word document using the BN in
the editing mode.
If I save a file to WP, I can read it with the BN and not see those blasted
format markers. But if I save files as WP, they're considered hidden and I
have to press read with x to make them appear.
I sure hope the next version of Keysoft will solve both of these problems.
Also, the "Word" files the BN saves as are really Rich Text Format files. I
hope this problem is solved, too because Duxbury doesn't support rtf files.
If you have Duxbury on your PC, you can open and read any .brf file you
created on the BN and you can emboss the file, too.

Since most of my files are just meant for my own viewing and I don't have
to
worry about preserving format settings, I tend to save pretty much
everything as a Microsoft Word document. Then, for me, anyway, it is no
big
deal to just bring the file into Keyword for editing when needed, and then
save right back to Word. And, although I'll store things on my flash
disk,
I always manage to have a backup copy on my computer. For, once with
another note taker, I stored everything in the default grade two format
for
that machine, and then had quite a hard time getting things put in a
format
for viewing on my computer when that note taker died, so I'm not wanting
that to happen again.

Of course the problem arises when the BrailleNote crashes and has to be
sent in for repair and you haven't had a chance to export files. With
this in mind, I'd suggest that if you have files you really need to view
on your computer in the event the BrailleNote is absent, you export them
on a regular basis, a sort of backup procedure. I have learned the hard
way that once the BrailleNote crashes and all your stuff it gone, it's
just gone! (I do not store files on the flash disk any more for this
very reason.)
