Hi Reggie,
Of course I can't find it now, but I was sure I read something the other day
somewhere about software upgrades for the MPower. You might try calling
Humanware and ask if there's updated software that can handle RTF files. I
know the Apex handles RTF and Word 2003, though it doesn't, I don't think, do
docx files from 2007 or 2010. All the notetakers are getting rather out of
date! It's because Version 7.0 of Windows CE (which is now called something
else) isn't compatible, and they use it.
Check www.humanware.com for their phone number.

Can I upgrade my mPower? If so, I am thinking that may help the situation.
Thanks.

Hi Reggie,
Since this is brief, I'm going to respond here. I have a BrailleNote Apex,
and it reads RTF files. I wonder, if you upgraded your software (I know there
are upgrades for all the BrailleNotes out now) if it might have that capability.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Anyone have a BrailleNote? Question!
Does anyone here have a BrailleNote they use for reading? I have a
question about file types. You are welcome to contact me off list about this
if you wish since this is not a BrailleNote list. Here is my question:
I download a book to proof or read, (most concerned with those I am
proofing). It is in RTF, of course. I cannot open that RTF file after
transferring it to my BrailleNote. In order for me to read and proof, I need
to first change the file to a .doc file, transfer it and read it from the BN
and then reverse the process so I can format. I am using Word 2003,
Windows-XP. My brailleNote is an MPower build 22 I think. It is an older
machine anyway. I am trying to open in Keyword.
If anyone can help me with this, I would be extremely grateful! It would
save me some steps and possible consequences I think would not happen, but
sometimes things are lost when changing a file from one type to another. So
far this has been working with nothing returned, but I would rather proof in
RTF. Thanks.
Reggie
