I'm afraid it doesn't. Every time I open a Word document created by the BN,
my PC thinks it's a rich text file.

Yes it does, but rich text is another option in translation.
Have a great day,

The BrailleNote doesn't create Word documents, even wit the
export feature.
These documents are actually rich text format.

Hi Donald
There is always the export function in the BrailleNote which
allows you to
convert the document to Word format before you transfer it onto
the PC.
Why
create another program to install on your computer when the
BrailleNote
can
do it already?
Cheers
Kylie

As I see it you will have major problems with MS Word Files. We
are way
behind in that area. Also the feature that would be helpful is
a utility
that can convert your files from keysoft to MS Word after you
dump them on
a
computer. Those are my two biggest complaints. What is
annoying is that
their technical support is sad and I really don't think anybody
is
listening!

Subject: [Braillenote] The Notetaker Debate
Hey all,
Well, I've had the opportunity of working with both a PAC Mate
and a
BrailleNote throughout my schooling, and need to reach a
decision about
what
notetaker to acquire for next year upon commencing my university
education.
I am leaning heavily towards the BrailleNote at this point,
because I do
not
believe the PAC Mate meets the needs of a student in my
situation.
Amongst
other things, it is sluggish, you can only work with one level
of
directories within applications, the sound is dreadful, Word
files are not
directly supported in their preferred editor, no accessible
interactive
fiction client exists, there is a lack of thumb keys or any
other
convenient
means for braille panning, the calculator doesn't support proper
Nemeth,
the
connectivity is not as good as the BrailleNote's, no way exists
to
independently control the volume of a streaming MP3 file and the
speech,
multilanguage braille support is nonexistent, no way exists to
translate
text on-the-fly when you copy and paste... you get the idea.
In other words, I'm nearly completely won over that the
BrailleNote is the
way to go. I don't even care that it isn't open to third-party
developers
at this point, because frankly, I think that the BrailleNote
contains
nearly
everything I need in terms of notetaking, and most Pocket PC
apps on the
PAC
Mate that I download are either just plain inaccessible or
inefficient. I
am wondering though, for the sake of honesty, what people
believe are the
BrailleNote's own downsides. I just think it is helpful to
know, because
admittedly I have not used the BrailleNote in some time.
Obviously it
lacks
Excel support, which isn't a huge deal to me. Could we add any
more
items/comments to this list? Thanks.
Grant
