Jonathan:

You said tht you were using the  current SW from Microsoft that imports
Microsoft Word documents on the BrailleNote.

I'd just like to point out tht two other braille notetakers (the Millenium
series from Freedom Scientific and  the Elba from Papenmeier) already have
software that will convert any and all Microsoft Word document files to
text documents.  I have seen firsthand that both the Millenium series and
the Elba can read Microsoft Word documents that the Braillenote will not
read.

I am aware tht comparisions can be odious, but i feel this is a
fundamental need that should have already been met by Keysoft.  If Freedom
scientific and Papenmeier have been able to do it for some time, I would
think the BrailleNote should be able to do it too.  I doubt it that either
Freedom scientific or Papenmeier are using software from Microsoft to
accomplish this conversion/import.

thanks for your consideration.
Barbara Wagreich
