Dear List, I experimented with ASCII text to see how different programs read ASCII text files created on a BrailleNote. Here is what I discovered:
1. Documents created from scratch could be read by Wordpad but Notepad wouldn't read them. 2. KeyWord documents saved as ASCII text could be read by Wordpad but not by Notepad. 3. Keysoft documents exported to ASCII could be read by both WordPad and Notepad. 4. Tabs are never saved. My conclusion is the ASCII text files created from scratch and those created using the save-as command mustnot be true ASCII. Files created through the export menu are true ASCII. So, I cannot recommend setting Keyword to create ASCII files by default because they aren't readable unless the person receiving them uses Wordpad, Jarte, Word etc. Your layout format will disappear.
