Hi, That is a great workarround to the issue of PRS not working with the card. Thanks for that - will remember for the future.

I didn't understand about wanting to put an edited project onto the card when it's been done on the computer with PRS. Seems to me that I have done this before, like this. Create a new title, hence folder, on the card. Put the card into your computer and copy the files from the folder on your computer's hard drive that has been edited to the new title folder on the card. I think that's all it took. Re-reading the original inquiry, I believe the difference is that I put the files into a folder that was created with the PlexTalk. I didn't just copy the folder from my computer's hard drive. I think copying, although putting the folder and files where you want them, does not get the info for the PTR1 to use into the appropriate file. I believe that this is the file Andrew is proposing to edit. Instead of editing, try creating a new title/folder with the PTR1 and then copy the files to that folder. This should make the PlexTalk recognize the title folder and then be able to read the files. I think Jamie is right about the reason for Sharon wanting to put the project back onto the PTR1. Whether or not that is still necessary after the easy instructions for doing the split phrase in PRS, it would be nice to know that the other option also works and is available if the situation is more desirable to be done on the PlexTalk instead.
