Hi, Welcome to the list, and to the world of the Braillenote. 1. I find it easiest to move files from a pc onto a storage card or thumb drive, then from there onto the bn. This lets me avoid ActiveSync altogether (I am not a fan of the program, though it is not too hard to use). You can also email the files to yourself, or use a web server to upload them on the computer then download them on the bn. That is advanced, though, and not many people would feel comfortable doing things that way, plus it requires an internet connection.
2. Eloquence on the apex is choppy and horrible, at least to my ear, so I just stick with Keynote Gold. Humanware has said that they have gotten it to work better on the apex, but I have not found this to be the case at all. Oh, and your example sentence made perfect sense to me.
