HI rosele, thanks I will pass this along.
I suspect that I will be talking him through much of this. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Roselle Ambubuyog" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Braillenote List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, November 22, 2003 2:28 PM Subject: Re: [Braillenote] those braille 'N speak transfer blues. > Jim, > > There is an alternative. If the files didn't have an extension, the BrailleNote wouldn't know they are supposed to be read as being in contracted Braille. It rightly thinks they are foreign files created using a different word processor. I'll discuss what can be done using either Keysoft version 5 or an earlier version. > > If this person is running version 5, then he can: > > 1) Go into Keyword, select the drive and folder, and press SPACE with X (READ with X) to view all file types, and then navigate and hit ENTER on the file from the Braille 'n Speak. > > 2) Position the cursor at the top of the file, and put a top-of-block marker.

Select the file from the Braille 'n Speak that he had renamed with a .txt extension, and the BrailleNote will ask, "Is this a Braille or text document?" Type B for Braille and that would do the trick. Note that you can do this also in version 5. It's like tricking the BrailleNote to think that the file is in contracted Braille even though the extension says otherwise. > > HTH, > Roselle > > >----- QUOTED MESSAGE ----- > >Sent by: "Jim O'Neill" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > >HI Roselle, > > >thank you for the help! > > >I guess my customer will have a little work to do renaming those files. > > > ___ > To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit > http://list.pulsedata.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote > >
