We have been asking for better Word support since 2002,. It has not happened yet, so don't hold your breath. Drives me crazy all the things I have to do to get a Word document from work onto the Braille note in some form I cam read.

And, it is something that should be addressed ASAP. I often exchange data between my Braillenote and a PC, and I often travel so it is a good thing to be able to read materials that I have prepared in order to train individuals. -----Original Message----- From: Alex Parks [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 04, 2007 9:32 AM To: Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Richard Ring; [email protected] Subject: RE: [Braillenote] "exception: converter" is back! My theory is that, for whatever reason, Word files cause a problem when the bn tries to put the file in its ram (when you open a file and modify it, you are viewing/editing a copy in ram, not the copy on the storage device) back onto the storage device to overwrite the old copy with your new one, it encountous an error when it hits either a language tag or format marker; it always seems to cut off text at one of these points. It is something in the software that I thought was fixed, but I guess not.
