Hi Bill, I'm catching up on messages, so pardon if this has been answered already. I haven't personally tried it, but I remember from a previous list discussion that it apparently is possible to read excel files on the bn, by changing the file extension to I think xls. If my memory serves me right the person who gave the info is a Mary or Mary-ann from pulse data itself.

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.
