Hi, Joseph,
Thanks for the reply. when you say try loading, do you just mean
double tapping on a file in the list that dropbox displays? the
.docx file is almost readable when the action item says thumbnail,
but not when it says full. go figure! If I touch the screen it
reads a line, but I can't reliably get to the next line. If I just
touch the screen it might or might not read a line, and that one
might or might not be the next line in the document.
Yesterday it gave me an 'open in' choice, but the only choice was
Prizmo, and the text was totally garbled. I don't mind purchasing
Voice Dream Reader if that's what it takes, but if I could offer my
student a free way to access her files that would be better.

Hi Anna,
I just took a look, and this Dropbox feature works just as you've described
it. Try loading a txt, rtf, doc, and other such text related files and
reading each of them using the "thumb nail full" setting--it will not show
when turned on--it is a toggle. If the file shows, simply read the screen
line by line until you reach the text portion of the file, and you can now
navigate normally using left and right swipes or swiping down line by line
via rotor Line setting.
Try placing your text file on the same level as your folders within main
Dropbox folder on your computer.

Subject: drop box
I installed 'dropbox for iPhone' from the store. It sees my files,
but doesn't give me a good way to read them. Sometimes, for a reason
I don't understand and can't duplicate, it does read the file, flying
through the whole thing without stopping for breath. there is a
button that toggles between thumbnail and full something, but it
doesn't seem to make a difference. I have an .rtf and a .docx that I
would like to be able to read. Help says Dropbox reads those, but I
don't see what to trigger in order to do it.
Any clues would be pounced upon.
Much thanks,
Ann
