Dear Robert, I'm curious. Did you translate the document into braille before embossing it? I can't emboss at all with my Mpower, so I must use the PC. DBT Win won't emboss a document unless it's translated first. So, if you translated the document using DBT Win, saved it as a .brf file and transferred the .brf file to the BN, the file should have kept its original format and you should have been able to emboss it.
If you translated the Word document into braille, did you open and check the layout of the file before you embossed it? Terri, Amateur Radio call sign, KF6CA.

People have been asking for a better support for word documents for some time, and all Humanware says is that they are working on it. I have a monthly bulletin I write that due to problems with the pc this month, I had to use the bn to emboss 20 copies of a eight page document. I had created the document on the pc, so it was a word document that I brought over to the bn. It took me hours and several waisted pieces of paper to get the formatting to a point where it was reasonable. It still was not exactly the way I wanted it. these are the things that need to be worked on, not games and fm radio. There needs to be support for pdf documents, there needs to be support for spreadsheets, and I don't mean bringing a csv file into the bn and bing able to open it, I mean being able to create a preadsheet on the bn and being able to make changes and so forth. The most important item that Humanware can work on, is upgrading the ce and yes I am waiting to see what 8 will have, though I appreciate what I have with my bn, there is no reason why I can't want it to be better.
