I could be incorrect, but I believe the BrailleNote doesn't save Word files
as true Word files. If you open them on a PC, they will appear to be "rich
text" files. Since I don't use Word, I'm not sure what differences there
are between the format of a rich text document and a true Word file. I have
never liked reading rich text or Word files with the BN because the files
are riddled with $fm codes.
By the way, I created a Word file on my PC using a program called Jarte and
the BN refused to open it. I received a "class" message. Jarte creates
Word 6 or later files. I know this because the Duxbury on my PC recognizes
them as such when I import them into DBT. (Duxbury braille translator).

Subject: [Braillenote] Opening and saving a Word document in Keysoft 7.5.
Hello, since some work I'm receiving will no doubt come to me in Word
format, if I load these documents into the BN, work on them, and then save
each one when I'm done, will Keysoft, by default, save these in the format
they were in, retaining the formatting, such as bold and centering, etc.?
I would be working on the document, then saving it, and probably using
Save, in favor of Save As. If I do need to do anything else as far as
options, then please let me know, or point me to relevant manual pages in
the user guide. I'd like to return the corrected documents without people
wondering where their formatting has gone.
Thanks a lot.
Matthew
