Thanks. Maybe this evening I will get started. Then again, I don't know, have been having problems I did not anticipate today.

I grab a book and convirt it to rtf. Do all the work I want in word and upload. 2 when working on the BN (v5.1) I grab a file and save it to the BN as a key word. When I do all the work I want I export the document to RTF done by A. : going to the file manager b. sellecting the translation menue c. choosing export document d. then choose folder and file e. export to witch device file f. file type cycle through with spacebar and dots 3-4Make certain to choose RTF as that is how we're validating file, even with an origionally txt file. g. it will ask you folder etc, then for a file name when choosing name make certain you have the exact name of the file exammple: Homecoming_F1 I've been validating much more often on the BN lately. It really isn't all that hard. I remember my first validation. not too long ago..I was terrified. every one was very helful and supportive. Gisela
