That won't work! You need to export the document to Word, not rename it! Just changing the extension won't make it readable.

The .qwt extention : you have encountered means that the file is a Keysoft qwerty Braille : document, which the computer will be unable to recognize. This is why it is : necessary to convert any files you want to read on the computer to Microsoft : Word documents. It may be possible to also convert files to .txt documents, : but I am unsure of this and know that others on the list will know better : than I. Also, from personal experience, I have found that it is never a good : idea to rename a Braille document by simply pressing control r from keyword, : because I have learned the hard way that it will corrupt the specified file. : I have not found this to be the case with Microsoft Word documents and I : couldn't say about other file types since I have never tried to rename any : other such documents.
