Terri,
The interesting thing with this is that it worked just fine using
periods under KeySoft 7.2. But, I do understand your point and
it does make sense.

Subject: Re: [Braillenote] creating documents under KS 7.5
I'm using Ks7.0 and I have a QWERTY keyboard. I have noticed
with this
version of Keysoft that file names using periods or slashes
aren't valid.
So, the safest thing is to use a hyphen instead.
BTW, according to BANA rules, dates are to be brailled as 9-5-07.
Keysoft thinks anything after a period is an extenstion and the
slash refers
to directories and subdirectories. So, I guess it all makes
sense.

Subject: [Braillenote] creating documents under KS 7.5
Dear BrailleNote list,
I found something rather interesting when creating a document in
class
today. I will normally differentiate my lecture notes by using
the date,
the format I tended to use was month.day.year, so today would
be, 9.4.07.
I found out after wasting about 20 minutes in class that after
pressing
the first decimal after the n9 that KeySoft was taking the rest
of the
numbers following the first decimal to be a file extension. Two
things
occurred from this:
1. I couldn't locate the file using keyword. I had to go
through file
manager, but even then I couldn't open the file as the extension
was 0407,
which isn't a valid file type.
2. After creating the document, the system came up with "review
the
options?" So, I thought from here that KS 7.5 must of changed my
default
wordprocessor files. I went into setup options under keyword
and reentered
the file name, same issue. So, after 20 minutes of fiddling
with this in
class, it dawned me that it was possible that KeySoft took the
decimal as
an extension.
So as a pointer, do not use decimals when typing in file names.
From here
on I will use a / or - instead of a period. I think that this
is a small
enough issue that it most likely won't be fixed in the patch,
but it will
be great if it was.
