Oh yeah... and your MS word file changes don't automatically save if you
decide to save as a different filetype, without saving the word file first

You can save the file you're in as another file type. Press space with s,
and you can change the filetype with backspace with x. So that means you
can save your MS word file as a KW braille file, edit this Braille file,
then save that as word. Be ware that sometimes the formatting can be lost
from word to keyword files... I'm no expert on this but I know I've had to
reformat stuff in the past if I've convertedit. and then there's the
matter of stuff like (a), (b), (c) will come out (a), (but), (can)...

Hi, all.
I'm trying to figure out the best way to read and edit Microsoft Word
documents with the Braille Note Apex BT32.
From what I'm reading in the manual, I can see two possibilities here:
1. Bring the document directly into the Braille Note via the "open file"
option under Word Processor, and use computer braille where needed to do
the
editing. This could be a problem for me, since I'm not extremely
familiar
with computer Braille; or
2. Translate the file into a Braille file first, and then import it into
the Word Processor from there. If I'm interpreting things correctly,
this
might not necessitate using computer Braille, but would involve two extra
translation steps--one when I import the document into the BN, and the
second when I export the document back to a Word document for use by the
sighted world.
Am I expressing things clearly here, or just confusing issues way more
than
they need to be?
Thanks for bearing with all my questions to the list lately.
I promise that I won't ask questions without trying my best to find out
answers first.
Sincerely,
Dr. Tom Behler from Michigan
