There is no way around this. I repeat that translating in to keyword and back to .rtf runs the risk of translation errors since the braillenote is going from grade one or computer braille to grade two and then back to computer braille. You do not have to read the .rtf file in computer braille but if you edit a word, the word itself does show up in computer braille when the cursor is on it.

The book I validated was in RTF format; I worked with it on the BrailleNote
without changing the format but found I had to be in computer braille to
make any corrections. Has this been your experience. This was a
comparatively short book, but I'm not willing to edit in computer braille
for a longer book. Have you found any way around this? Jill
