Hi Kelly, Well, there's some good news and some bad news.
With the planner, she should copy her old planner year files into the KeyPlan folder on the Flash Disk. Then, after a simple Reset, she will be asked whether she wants to import the files into the new planner, one file at a time. Regardless of her answer, all old planner year files will be moved to the /KeyPlan/Old Planner Files directory of the Flash Disk after the importing process completes. This means that, if she wishes to import some old planner year files at a later time which she didn't initially import the first time, she can repeat the procedure. Any old planner year files in the KeyPlan folder are recognized as files you wish to import, so she will be prompted if she wants to import them upon a simple Reset. With the new planner, the words "All Day" are indeed put before any typed text unless they are notes for an appointment. If she wants to create something like a task list for the day, she can create an all-day appointment by just typing in the name of the appointment outside of the Notes field of another appointment; she can also go through the scheduling process, and, at the "Appointment Time?" field, press L for "All Day". The appointment could be called something like "Tasks". Then, after the appointment is created and with her cursor on the Time line (in this case the words "all day", she can press ENTER to type the tasks in the Notes field. In this field, the delete commands are used as in KeyWord, so the [BACKSPACE with dots 1-4], [CONTROL with I] command, for example, deletes to the end of the sentence of the Notes as opposed to canceling the appointment when the cursor is on the Time line of the appointment. That way, with her tasks in the Notes field, she could move about them as she would in a KeyWord document. The bad news is with the Address List. In future, she should back up the Address List.cdb file in the KeyList folder of the Flash Disk to her Storage Card. This is a "hidden" file, so she would have to press [SPACE with X], [READ with X] when presented with the list of files in the KeyList folder during the process of copying a file to view it. Note that when backing up, she shouldn't just copy all files in the folder using the multiple-character wild card, as this will not copy the hidden files; therefore, the .cdb files which store database records for all databases will not be backed up. If she wants to back up all data, she can use the Backup option of the Utilities Menu. In this particular situation, with the Address List, if she had copied this file (Address List.cdb) to a Storage Card, she could have copied it to the KeyList folder of the Flash Disk of the new BrailleNote, and after answering Yes to the prompt asking whether to replace the existing file with the one being copied, her Address List database would have been restored. However, now that it is in a KeyWord document, she will have to type in the records into KeyList.
