Keith, I have made it a practice to always save and backup documents in the Braillenote in at least two ways; 1. Keyword, and 2. RTF or Word or ASCII format readable on most PCs and some note takers. As Susie Stageberg points out, Keyword formats won't read on the Pac Mate. It is my guess that RTF or Word or ASCII format will read fine on the Pac Mate. It would be best to call the FS help desk to confirm this. Hope that you get your Braillenote back soon.

However, in my three jobs, I need a portable notetaker while mine is away. I am usually able to borrow a BrailleNote from a company through which I do some contracting, but their machine is out on loan. They will loan a Pac Mate to me, but I am wondering if the Pac Mate will read KeyWord documents, or whether I will have to transfer all necessary files to Microsoft Word or to text. Any progress on the loaner program through PDI that was discussed a few months ago?
