Monica,
I do exactly as you did but if I want it to be a word file, I open the Braille
file in Duxbury and translate it to print. Then I open word and open the print
file in word and then you can take notes. I always keep the original file
though.

him.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Reading a Brf file
Hello all. It's my first time downloading a book in a very long time. I had
a few questions. I was wondering, could someone who reads braille tell me if I
did this right. First, I downloaded the book called The Ultimate Gift and
placed it into my scanned books folder.
Then I unpacked the unpack tool and accepted the agreeement.
3. I saved the file with a brf extension.
4. I opened the file using Duxbury for Windows which automatically put it
into grade 2 braille.
5. Now I know this sounds crazy, but would I just read it in braille with the
braille display I have?
The reason I ask is, I would like to take notes on things I find interesting
in the book and would like to make a file in Word. I was wondering, could I
translate the braille file back to grade one braille and then copy it into word
and read it as an RTF file?
I wasn't sure how else to write notes down about things I wanted to remember
about the book. Also, I'm assuming that if I were to read it in word, I would
have to use my voice synthesizer, jaws, to read it.
Sorry, for my ignorance. Any assistance would greatly be appreciated. If I
have confused you, let me know and I could try and explain myself a bit better.
Monica
