Hi, I went to gmail.com. I really wasn't sure which field I was in so I guess I would say both fields. I saw where it said Password and the "Remember Me" spot but was not sure where to write my email address in. I used computer Braille to write my email address and it showed up in contracted Braille.
Sorry to be so confused. Thanks for all your help.

Both username and password? What address did you go to to log in? This may not be the problem, but I know for me on google plus, on the mobile log-in page, the box to put your e-mail in won't pof up till you put your password in, press enter, wait for the next page to load, press enter with o and enter, and fill in the security alert dialogue that will pop up only then.. But I never had this issue with gmail.

When I tried logging on to my own gmail account using the BrailleNote because I basically thought this was the process, I couldn't get to the right form fields to log in. Any tips would be appreciated.

For example, Gmail works well in this respect. Essentially, you would want to Email the .docs file to yourself. Then you would access it by logging into www.gmail.com. By default, you'll be in a very stripped down version of Gmail designed to work well on a mobile phone, so go to the link labelled "Basic HTML" to arrive in a more fully featured version of Gmail (you can bookmark the resulting page for easier access if you wish). Then select the message you just sent to yourself, and near the bottom of the page will be a list of the attachments. You can of course download the DOCX file, but there should also be a link next to it labelled "View as HTML," which will put you into a web page with the text of your DOCX file. You can read it there or copy it to the clipboard, paste it in Keyword, etc. Note that this also works well for a variety of files including PDFs. This method is a bit cumbersome, but it does work. I hope I explained it satisfactorily! Cheers, Grant On 04/16/2012, Charis Austin <[email protected]> wrote: Thank you to all those who responded to my question regarding my question about docx files. One of the suggestions was to use a web based account such as gmail. Does it matter if the account is an imap vs. pop3 account? What is the process for reading these files if Office is not on the machine? Thank you. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Nusbaum [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, April 16, 2012 9:10 PM To: 'Charis Austin'; [email protected] Subject: RE: [Braillenote] Reading Docx Files with Latest Version of BrailleNote Hi Charis, Welcome to the list!! To answer your question, there is unfortunately no way to read DOCX files in the latest version of KeySoft. However, there is a way to convert them using a service called RoboBraille. Here is what you do: 1. On your BrailleNote, send an email to [email protected]. 2. In the subject line, put in the file format in which you want the file converted. For example, you can convert the file to .doc, .txt, or .brf. 3. Attach the original DOCX file to your email. After you send your email, you should see an email within a few minutes with the converted file attached. Hope this helps, Chris -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Charis Austin Sent: Sunday, April 15, 2012 5:28 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Braillenote] Reading Docx Files with Latest Version of BrailleNote Hello, I am new to the list and am learning a lot. I am working with someone who is purchasing a BrailleNote and will have version 9.2 of KeySoft. Can you read Office 2007-10 files (specifically docx files)? I thought that this was one of the new features in the latest upgrade but can't find anything to support that. If you can't read them is there a way to convert them in case someone emails you and you don't have access to a computer? Thank you.
