Hi Lisa, I just wanted to let you know: I think your original problem was that you saved the file as a .brf file. When you reached the text version of Braille Book Review, and upon saving it, you should have saved it with a .txt extension because it was a text file, and it was not already translated into Grade II Braille. Therefore, since you had saved the .txt file as a .brf file, your file came out in Computer Braille; if you had saved the plain-text version as a .txt file, the BN would have recognized this, and because your Preferred Reading Grade was set to Grade II, the text would have been translated into Grade II on your Braille display as you read.
As for HTML files being filled with HTML tags, I take it you opened the file, after saving it, in KeyWord. Since the HTML file is meant to be read in a Web browser, you would have seen it displayed properly had you opened it in KeyWeb. In fact, it would have looked the same as if you had been reading the Braille Book Review page of the HTML version itself, rather than your saved copy. However, as previously suggested, when saving the HTML file, you could have put a .txt extension at the end, and it would have been saved as such, so you could have opened that in KeyWord without seeing a source HTML file complete with tags.
