Hello listers. Recently while writing a paper, I had a very odd thing happen to me. I wanted to take some quotes from a few articles I had on my compact flash card and paste them into my assignment. I originally saved them from my computer as pocket word files (pwd) because I have gotten errors opening ms word documents, even when I try to save them as word 95 from office xp. I went into the block commands menu and did everything as usual. However, when the blocks of text were put into my file, they were not retranslated to grade 2. The braille note indicated this by saying "computer braille" at both ends of the block. Also, everything appeared in grade 1 on the braille display. But it gets even stranger. At any point after the bottom of the block when I continued to write in grade 2, the braille note began spelling all my words out letter by letter, even when I did a read word read all, and read sentence command. It recognized the contractions correctly, and I got no garbage like greater than or less than signs. At first I thought my braille note was just acting up, so I tried a reset but that did not fix the problem. Has anyone else had this happen to them? Is there anything I can do, or does the braille note only do back and forward translation from txt and regular word files?
thanks for your help with this John J Herzog
