This is why other devices, like the Voice Sense, Braille Sense Plus and the Braille Plus/Icon, are getting more attention. They have greatly resolved these issues.
I personally am tired of Humanware's lack of action on this.

However, I have said it before, and probably will a thousand more times, it is like I am talking to the wall. Anyone who has written me before with an attitude, please save your words.

Admittedly, I don't try importing really complex word documents, but I haven't experienced the problems others have. Although, we'll see if that changes for I'm starting to write my book and will be doing a lot of it on the Braille Note and transferring it to word. That will be exporting, not importing though. For exporting, my suggestion would be to export to a Rich Text Format (RTF) document and then pull that up in word and re-save it as a word file. While this doesn't mean you can use a lot of complex formatting such as tables, it may help. Good luck. Yes this is frustrating, but as I will reiterate to you it's not only Humanware, but also Microsoft that need to do something about this one.
