i was going to suggest the same thing. if you just paste it into word it will be in a table form. can the BN read tables? If you convert it into text, you'll lose formatting, but you'll be able to read it.

I'm not a Micfosoft Office fan and I have never used Excel before, but I opened the document in Excel and I discovered I could convert the document to .txt. I copied the txt file to my CF card and inserted it into the BN. It read nicely. Perhaps someone knows of an extension you can change it to so you don't have to use a PC. I just thought I'd mention this so if you did have to use your PC you wouldn't have to cut and paste. Terri, Amateur radio call sign KF6CA.
