Or you could just read it in the BN, choosing to read it in Grade Two Braille. I have mine set so that Grade Two Braille is the preferred reading mode, so text files automatically come up in Grade Two. the only reason for translating it into a Braille file is if you want to make notes in it; in a text file you have to write in Computer Braille. Confused?

Then I would open a blank notepad document and paste the clipboard into that. Save that document as a text file and you should be good to go. If you have Duxbury you could translate the document into Braille on the PC, or you could use the BN to do this through the file manager. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Evelyn Weckerly Sent: Tuesday, October 11, 2005 9:39 AM To: Braillenote List Subject: RE: [Braillenote] Word documents Hi, Sarah, I tend to use my flash cards for back-up more than anything. At the moment the document is on my PC and will be transferred to a flash card. I actually want a copy stripped of all formatting because all I need is the words; furthermore, I want to make a grade 2 Braille file out of it for faster reading because I will be using my BN during practice and performance.
