I failed to say in my last message that I have both saved and imported the documents as .brf files but that doesn't work.

Hi Karen:

You may want to go to file manager, and export your documents to a dot brf. You can, from Main Menu do F, T, E. At the file type, press dots 3,4 chord, (space with Ctrl) to get to your file type.

Subject: [Braillenote] word translation question

Hi, everyone,

I recently bought a cookbook on a CD-Rom.  It has several hundred
recipes
with a .doc extension.  Every fraction in these recipes has,
instead of 3/4,
for example, a character representing that fraction when it is
read on the
computer.  When I translate any of the files in to Braille, I get
stars
instead of fractions, and with a cookbook, that's disastrous,
(smile.)  When
I opened one of the documents up in Duxbury on the computer this
morning, it
translated as a .brf file beautifully.  How can I get these
documents
translated on the BrailleNote so that the fractions will show up.
The
BrailleNote has a Duxbury translator so it stands to reason that
I would be
able to do the same thing with it that I did on the computer this
morning.
I hope that this question makes sense to some of you who know
Duxbury and
Word.  I can do this on the computer so that is a definite
work-around, but
doing it on the BrailleNote would be really nice.  Thanks for any
help.

Karen
