You can either choose to export the files using the translate menu in the file manager, or you can just resave your braille or keysoft file from within key word. From within key word with the braille document open press space with S for a BT keyboard. You will be asked what the file should be named with it's current file name displayed as the default. At that prompt press backspace with X to cycle through the file types available. Choose something you know you can definitely read on your computer. I would suggest and ASCII text file if you don't have much formatting in the file or rich text or Microsoft Word if you do have formatting you might care about. Both ASCII text and rich text files can be read on any computer. once your braille note displays or says the file type you would like you will have to type in a name at the prompt and press enter. If there isn't already a file with the same name and extention you will be done. Now you only have to find a way to transfer the file to your computer. That can be done with activesync or some type of storage card. If this doesn't work for you, or you need more information let me know.
