I also downloaded the file from the HIMS web site, and I got the
same results as Peter, meaning the document would open but would
be blank. I used my Apex, as both my Sense products are in for
repair. Also, as with Peter, I couldn't get a word count or use
the spell checker; for, although both functions worked on the
Apex, they would report zero words.
When I tried to save the document on my PC as a Word file, since
it opened as an Office 97 2003 document, saving it just saved the
same document with the same date. Thus, it still wouldn't read
on the Apex. Nor, for that matter, would saving it as a RTF
file. But, saving it as a TXT file, then did allow the document
to be read. And, for that matter, typing a letter at the top of
the document so as to change it just a tad, and then saving it as
a DOC or RTF document, didn't allow it to be read, either--well,
unless you count the one time it opened and showed a bunch of
numbers and strange characters and the like after being saved as
a RTF file.

Subject: Re: [Braillenote] Apex not able to read a Microsoft file
I'm not sure why the Apex won't read the file, but I know that
doc files
created with the SENSE won't open with the Apex and doc files
created on the
Apex won't open on the Sense.
If you have a PC, you can open the file and save it as ASCII
text. You
could also try saving the open file as a Word file. Both the
APEX and Sense
will open doc files created with a PC.
