Hi, Uh oh... What firmware do you have? Does this happen with 5.5 or ones older than that? Have you tried pressing TAB after the Save As dialog appears to select a file type? Cheers, Joseph

Hi, Don, I am using a BrailleSense Plus. I can follow your steps through typing the name without extension, but when I press "tab" (F3), I get a sound like clashing cymbals and the device ceases to respond. I reset and tried again, with the same results.
