Yes, I have a pc but I have used the bn for all my work ever
since I got it in 2002 and have never had these problems. I
think a big part of it is in the language--if you paste a url or
part of a web page into a file it is not tagged as any language
and that is where all these blank language tags come from. This
is a major issue that should be resolved as soon as possible. As
Richard said: I would rather have no new features but have data
integrity than new features I am never sure I can trust.
Have a great day,
Alex

You have a right to be angry. However, do you have access to a
computer? Honestly, I never do important documents on the
Braillenote.
I certainly use it to take notes and to write drafts, but I
simply don't
find it reliable enough to do the kind of hard work you just put
in.
I am not minimizing what happened to you, believe me, but it
might be
time to look into a PC with Microsoft Word. I'm truly sorry all
of this
has happened to you!

Subject: [Braillenote] This is rediculous!!
Okay, I am really not happy. No, scratch that; I am furious. I
completed revisions to an essay in a word file on my bn. I had
copied and pasted a lot of stuff, like quotes and urls, and I
found that, even though everything was in English, I got these
language tags with no letter like s or e. This leads me to my
first point: this causes the spell checker to say "spelling
dictionary is not installed". Why is this happening?
Next, I exited the file a few days ago and, as I just found out,
it had erased all data after one of these blank language tags! I
had a backup of the file, thankfully, and went into that to
modify a few small things before emailing it to my professor.
When I exited, I got that "exception: converter..." You know the
rest, I am sure. I had thought ahead, however, and copied the
entire file to the clipboard just in case something like that
happened... When I pasted the clipboard into a new file, I got a
blank language tag followed by an English language tag. No text,
no nothing. Just those tags.
This makes me extremely angry. I would like to thank Humanware
for, yet again, making a version of ks that has these bugs with
msw files and for erasing half (all") of my essay.
Alex
