Hello Pam, The advantage of using a Braille file of some description such as our native KeyWord format, or even a KeyWord text file for QT users, is that extra formatting and data relevant to the file can be inserted and stored in the file itself. For folks using KeyWord Braille files, they can make keyboard entry in grade 1 or 2 whereas only grade 0 (computer Braille), can be entered in a text or Microsoft Word file.

If not, what's the advantage of using it? Seems like it would be best to stick with txt then so that our files could still be accessed if we didn't have our braillenotes. > > Pam > > ___ > To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit > http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote >
