Hi The best way I can now think of is to go to the file manager, press t for the translation menu and then space down to "export document". You can just then follow the prompts and enter the foldername and when you are asked for the document name, just hit space with dots 3-5, for the multipal wildcard character. On the question "export to wich device, press enter for file. "export as wich file type?" press space with dots 3-4 till you hear microsoft word document and press enter. Then at the drive prompt, hit space till you hear compact flash. From there onwards, you can decide to wich folder you want to export the files.

I've been experiencing just this same problem. My BN is still in hospital, supposedly to be released by this evening. I can get at my txt files and my doc files just fine, but anything I've written in kwb files is not accessible to me. Since I keep everything, practically, on my microdrive, and it can travel between my BN and an ancient laptop I have here, it would sure make life easier if I could translate the files by using something on the computer. Ann P. P.S., Les, if I get my BN before you do, you can send me your KWB files and I'll translate 'em and send 'em back unread. A.P. -- Ann K.
