Isaac, you have at least two options to accomplish this: If you have a pc, create an ordinary txt file in something like notepad and paste all the numbers from different locations as text into that file. Save it as a txt file on your flash card and in which ever folder you like. The bn will automatically recognise that it's a txt file and will prompt you for computer Braille on opening the file with keyword.
Alternatively, using only the bn, make sure to either have the default for new documents set to txt, or change the file type to txt when you create a new document in keyword. Then select the text of the different numbers via the block commands menu and if some of those are in brf format, translate that block to text before you paste it in the new document. Do not insert a file as such via the block commands menu, unless you are sure that the file you insert was a txt document. When you have inserted the text from all different sources into the new file, save it via the exit command and it will be saved in ascii format.

I don't know if you're doing it from the PK or what. When you have gone to File Manager, press T, then E. You will be asked what file you want to export. When you select that, you will see "export to which device"? It may say "press Enter for file". If it doesn't, press F. You will be asked what format you wish to use. Your first choice is Ascii text. Press Enter. You'll be asked for the place you want the file to be exported to. Select it, and then give the file name, and you will see "computer Braille is required." ----- Original Message ----- From: "Isaac Obie" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, February 17, 2005 6:50 PM Subject: [Braillenote] file > Hi, > I've got a stack of numbers from a variety of sources.
