Hello. xls stands for excel documents. Aloha Keao ----- Original Message ----- From: "Van Der Walt Riana" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, August 17, 2004 10:31 PM Subject: RE: [Braillenote] moving attachments
Sharon, when you stand on the attachment in the email header and enter, it will probably ask you in which folder, or directory to detach. I'm not sure what a xls attachment is, but it's not one of the regulars which the bn recognises. If it asks for a directory, Then press space with t [bt command[ to detach it in a folder. You would have to change the drive as well, to detach it to a card [bt command is backspace]. follow the normal procedure further. If that file is an excel attachment, someone from PDI previously posted a message on reading it on the bn, which I paste beneath. Hope you get the problem solved. Riana while it's not the same as opening an Excel spreadsheet easily on the BN, there is a much simpler way of converting excel spreadsheets without going into word. Simply save them as a .csv type file in Excel. This kind of file can be read on the BN, and appears with commas between the cell values. It restores in Excel in the same way, by opening in Excel, and saving as an Excel workbook. ----- Forwarded by Maryanne Cathro/PULSEDATA/NZ on 06/07/2004 04:11 p.m. ----- | | "Rich Irwin" | | | <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | | | Sent by: | | | [EMAIL PROTECTED]| | | lsedata.com | | | | | | | | | 04/07/2004 05:06 a.m. | | | Please respond to | | | Braillenote List | |---------+--------------------------------------> >----------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------| | | | To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected]> | | cc: (bcc: PDI_MAIL) | | Subject: RE: design philosophy RE: [Braillenote] instant messaging | >----------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------| I must concur with your comments Fred. I have been using an IBM ThinkPad for over three years. I purchased the GPS Talk system from Sendero. I also purchased a compact and light scanner that utilized the USB port on the notebook computer. I could then put the computer, GPS, required keypad, and scanner in a Sendero e-pack. I was able to use this 11 pound bundle on cruises, trains, and even hikes in some beautiful National Parks of the Southwestern US. But it was not practical when it came to spreading all this out on the conference room table so I could stay up with the other attendees when reviewing memos and spreadsheets. So I spent $7200 for a BN and GPS version 2. It provides me with everything I need both in travel and in meetings, except for the capability to review spreadsheets. I should interject that the primary reason I chose the Braille Note was that I did not have to listen to the attendees with one ear while trying to listen to the notebook with the other through a earphone so it would not disturb everyone else. I could use the Braille display. As I said, the one and only function I really need and will still not get with KeySoft 6.1 is Excel compatibility. It is neither economical nor functionally practical to purchase a Brilliant just to read Excel. I guess I will have to continue to convert the spreadsheets to Word tables and then move them into the BN that way. A time consuming solution but much less expensive than a 3-6000 Braille display.
