Hi Alex,
Thanks for your help. I created a file for work on the thumb drive; when I
embossed it from the MPower, there were a few weird things in terms of
spacing, but it's fine because I'm the only one using it; I just have to
work with the translation part a little more to get formatting just right.
Thanks again for your help!!!
Deborah

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
