I may not do this the easiest possible way, but I figured this process out by trial and error and reading the manual over and over. When I want a key word document on my PC, I open the keyword document, bring up the save menu and save it as a Microsoft word document with a different name. So, my BN has two documents, such as Sherry's Christmas cookies.doc for MS word, and Christmas cookies .with the BN file extension. I used to use the synchronization feature with the serial cable and everything, but once I got a flash card, I just transfer the file to that, plug the card reader into my PC and transfer the file to whatever folder it needed on the PC. Then I just open it in Word, do a little editing, and it's ready to be sent out to anyone. There might be an easier way to do this, as I say, but this way works well for me.

Hi, Terry: It's been a while since I wrote this message. I believe what I meant is that the pc will not read keyword documents. Yes, you can write other formats in the bn, but keyword is not known to the pc. I believe that's what I was talking about when I wrote that. Sorry if I wasn't clear.
