Dear Terri, I know where you are coming from in learning what you need to know on our own. However, I suspect you are a proficient braille user, and that helps when dealing with the embossing issue. Wow! I can't beleive I've found somoene who HATES MS-Word! The day I had to stop using Word Perfect was a sad one. (That was all we were allowed to use at work!) I have a Romeo-25 embosser. As yet, I haven't figured out how it would work with the BN or my new Mpower Transplant. If anyone on the List has experience using their embosser with Mpower, I hope they will share it with us. (Good luck Terri. I'm sure you'll have a handle on the embossing issue before long! :-) KC
