Tom, When you download a talking book file, it will be named something like this:
BookTitle.zip Your digital talking book machine cannot process that file! Files with the .zip extension are made up of one or more files which have been compressed into a single file to save memory space on your computer's hard drive and to expedite the file transfer process over the internet. The .zip file must be decompressed into its several files within a folder which is named similarly to the name of the .zip file from which it is decompressed. After the decompression has been accomplished, you can copy that new folder to your clipboard and then paste it from the clipboard onto your digital cartridge for playing by your digital talking book machine. It is your responsibility to know what program to use to decompress .zip files. It is also your responsibility to know where the new folder and its files can be found after the decompression process has been completed. If your file decompression program enables you to designate the destination of the decompressed files, you might designate the digital cartridge and thus avoid the need to copy and paste the decompressed folder and files from your hard drive to the digital cartridge. hth Bob ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom" <tclar...@gmail.com> To: <blind-computing@jaws-users.com> Sent: Friday, June 08, 2012 9:01 PM Subject: [Blind-Computing] Save as...NLS digital books Hi, I’m trying to learn what and how to do what is needed to put a saved/downloaded NLS digital audio book, on a digital cartrige. Friends are telling me to open the folder with my downloaded books (in my documents), and then go to File, and select Save as, (I know about F12, but nothing happens when I hit it), and there’s no Save as when I open File (alt + F), so I can’t select where to move the file. Any one know what I need to do, since there has to be a way. I’m speculating it’s due to it being a digital book, but since I’m lost, any one got an answer? I use Windows 7. Tom .
