HI. The "Wordpad Converter" message relates to the message which the PK gives when it fcannot convert the fvile I assume it relates to a CD Windows CD conversion system. Thanks for your suggestions however I cannot for love nor money access Word 2003 files obviously I can have them converted to other versions of Word which work fine however this isn'isn't always possible.

However, I cannot understand which "wordpad" converter you want to use to convert word documents on the pk and what it has to do with your pc. Wordpad is on the pc and mainly reads text documents. If you want to open a word document on the pk, which was created on your pc with ms word 2003 and it doesn't want to open when you just enter on the file, or put in the correct path and extention, you can do two things: Go to the main menu and do a normal reset. After you have waited till it gives you the main menu prompt again, try again to open the relevant word document. If it still fails to open, save the document on your pc as a rtf file and transfer it to the pk, where it should open and all your attributes should be in tact. As far as I know, wordpad is mainly a text editor and its default files are in txt format, not in ms word. If you want to retain and save it in ms word, why not use Ms word on the pc? You can off course, also save it from within ms word on the pc as a txt or rtf document. I would recommend that you use rtf, as it never has a problem to open on the bn family and ms word documents use more disk space, while your page numbers page breaks, etc. will get lost if you save as txt. However, I save all books or other documents for which I don't particularly require page numbers and formatting, I want to read on the vn in txt format, as it takes less space and can read on any device without having to convert to a different file type. The pk/bn family uses keyword to create its default documents, if you haven't changed the default to something else on your particular unit. That format can only be read on your pk/bn and you cannot read it with the pc's wordpad, notepad, or ms word directly. If you want to create a document on the pk, but read it in ms word on your pc, use keyword text [not Braille] to create it, but translate it to ms word via the translation menu before transferring it to the pc. If you mail it to the pc, you just choose to attach the keyword file as a ms word file and it will be done automatically, but if you save to a cf card, you will have to translate it manually via the afore-mentioned options.

Across our company we use Office 2003 and for some reason the "WordPad" converter will not deal with this format when attempting to read attachments on the PK. It seems to like just about every other variation of word. Have I just got to put up with this or can anyone tell me (hopefully) that I'm missing something very obvious. Thanks a lot! Terry Clasper.
