Hi Ann, Well, what I've done thus far is to translate the files into .kwt files, then export them to .rtf files so that they read in Word. ON the PacMate, when I open the files, they display in Word and in grade 2 braille. I'm not that concerned about formatting at this point. I hope my unit isn't gone for too long, but I'm figuring at least a couple of weeks. Best Regards,

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.
