Hello Ed. I am delighted to tell you that I, too, receive daily newspapers from the NFB NewsLine email service and enjoy reading them in either Internet Explorer and/or Fire Fox on the PC or on either my MacBook Pro or iPhone 4 everyday.
The process to do this is the same on either platform and requires no software. Once you understand the process, converting the needed file takes less than 1 minute and is well worth the effort. So, let's see how it's done, OK? Note, make sure you can see file extension by making the appropriate selection in either the Mac finder or Windows Explorer settings area. (Not discussed in this post.) 1. Note that your NFB Newsline email contains 4 attachment, each with a different file extension as follows: .ncx, .opf, .smil, and .xml. 2. Save the file with the extension .xml to a folder. This is the only file needed to enjoy the entire newspaper. 3. After saving the .xml file, simply change the file extension to .html. 4. Finally, open the file via your favorite command and your default web browser will launch with the entire newspaper displayed complete with headings, links, tables, etc you can use to quickly navigate the text. That's all there is to it. Enjoy, Mark PS I am cross posting this to the iPhone List as well. -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Ed Worrell Sent: Sunday, June 05, 2011 7:59 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: NFB Newsline howto Hello Listers, I have had the Newsline paper that you get in the email started for me. I was wondering if there was a way to get the files back in to the format to read them. I am using a Macbook Pro, is there a way to do this on the mac. There is a program for windows that does this. How do you do this with the mac? Thanks ED -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
