With this, as with any file, the format will remain. I mean that
if it is a microsoft word file, .doc, then it will remain so
until you translate into Braille from the translation menu under
file manager. You can, however, tell the foreign file what type
of braille and stuff you want. When you open the file, the BN
will ask if you want to "review the options?" Say yes and you
will get some choices. Say no and the file will open with your
settings anyway; if you have the default text document reading
grade set to something, it will do that. These settings can be
found in the Braille display options under the options menu.

Subject: [Braillenote] Thumb Drives
Hi All,
I just bought a Sanddisk thumb drive that has 1 gigabyte of
storage. I was told that I could copy a file from the computer
onto the thumb drive and then read it in the MPower. That's
AWESOME to me
!!! I know it's probably old hat to lots of people on this list
but I didn't realize it before--that really opens up a whole
world of reading things in Braille!!!! I have a dumb question,
but when I copy a file to the thumb drive, in order to read it in
contracted Braille on the MPower, do I need to give it a name
followed by ".brf" or anything, or will the file automatically be
translated into Braille? I want to be sure before I do it
because I don't want to copy it and get garbage on my MPower
instead of Braille!!!!
Thanks again for all your help!! In a way I feel bad because the
only time I post is to ask for help. I'm really learning a LOT
from you all.
Deborah
