Since most of my files are just meant for my own viewing and I don't have to worry about preserving format settings, I tend to save pretty much everything as a Microsoft Word document. Then, for me, anyway, it is no big deal to just bring the file into Keyword for editing when needed, and then save right back to Word. And, although I'll store things on my flash disk, I always manage to have a backup copy on my computer. For, once with another note taker, I stored everything in the default grade two format for that machine, and then had quite a hard time getting things put in a format for viewing on my computer when that note taker died, so I'm not wanting that to happen again. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Susan Stageberg" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, October 05, 2005 11:56 AM Subject: RE: [Braillenote] kwb and kwt to .txt or .brf files ???
Of course the problem arises when the BrailleNote crashes and has to be sent in for repair and you haven't had a chance to export files. With this in mind, I'd suggest that if you have files you really need to view on your computer in the event the BrailleNote is absent, you export them on a regular basis, a sort of backup procedure. I have learned the hard way that once the BrailleNote crashes and all your stuff it gone, it's just gone! (I do not store files on the flash disk any more for this very reason.)
