Bill, if you can get the spreadsheat on your PC, you must first save it as a text document. What I do, go to save as by pressing f12 on your computer, tab once to get to the field wich reads "save as an excell worksheat", press your down curser till you get to save as a text document. A message telling you that some formatting will be lost will come up, but just press enter on that. Use tab or comma as separator and then transfer the text document back to your comuter. I hope all this make sence to you.

Is this possible, and if so how? I have tried to send the files as attachments by email and converted it to a Key Word document and have also tried leaving the file alone, without conversion. Either way the document is not readable. I was thinking maybe a newer version of Key soft might support this file type or I can do some conversion on a PC prior to moving it to the Braille Note, but do not exactly know how? The data in this spreadsheet will contain both text and numeric data with column and row headings. I will not need to change the data or calculations, mainly just need to read it and be able to see what row or column I am in so I will know what the data is about I am looking at. Would be nice to be able to change the data, but not critical at this point. Thanks for any help with this and have a great day.
