Hi Ann,
I don't think my link to the file on my SkyDrive page worked in my last message. Here it is again: <http://cid-df4620463321b782.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/Bluetooth%2 0Wireless%20Technology%20Basics%20for%20HP%20DV6.mp3?authkey=AytbBqUdato%24> View File Hopefully, this time it will be a link. The content of my last message is shown below. Take care. Brian Lee brianl...@charter.net Hello Ann, I haven't used Open Book for some time but if I remember right the option to save a file as an audio file was in the file menu. Another idea to consider might be using www.zamzar.com. They will convert PDF to MP3 and the audio is quite good. I sent them a file recently and had it returned in just a couple minutes. I have put a link below to the file on my SkyDrive page so you can listen to the audio. The file I submitted was a PDF file on bluetooth technology and the resulting MP3 was a lot better than I thought it would be. If you follow the llink below you will be taken to the page for downloading the file. Use insert with f7 and pick the download link on the web page. You can choose to save it if you want to or just open it to hear it. If you use ZamZar then all you need to do is browse to the file on your drive and upload it, put in your Email address where they can send a link to the file, choose MP3 from the combo box and submit the file. When you follow the link they send you there will be an alternative to download the file, which you can do to get the MP3 file on your computer. Here is the link to the audio file on my SkyDrive page that I had them convert if you want to hear some of it to check out the quality: <http://cid-df4620463321b782.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/Bluetooth%2 0Wireless%20Technology%20Basics%20for%20HP%20DV6.mp3?authkey=AytbBqUdato%24> View File Take care.
