Hi, when I had this problem, Dean suggested I transfer the document to my
pc, which as I have a plug and play card reader connected by way of USB port
on my pc, I saved the word document to a flash card, put the flash card in
the pc's card reader, opened the document on my pc and converted the file to
a .txt file - ie when the microsoft word file is opened on the pc, go to
save as, cursor to where it says plain text file and save. If there are any
pictures or non-text in the document you will be warned that these will be
lost and you just have to tab over to ok and press enter. After
retransfering back to the BN or PK, you should be able to read the file.
Other than this method, I don't think 6x is yet able to cope directly with
this sort of problem, and whilst I believe it has been noted for inclusion
in a future release of Keysoft, how big a priority this is, I do not know.
Cheers, Steve,

Subject: [Braillenote] Word Conversion issue
Just curious... has anyone had a problem with files created in word 2000
or 2003 not being readily accessible by Keysoft 6?
There is a word document that is 56 pages long and it is in word 2003
format. We are wanting to get it on the PK. We saved it on the compact
flash card, but when we tried to open it on the PK, it told us that it was
not a valid word 6 or 97 document. When I hit the backspace to escape
from that error message, it started a conversion process about 30 minutes
ago; it is still going on.
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide
Renee
