Hehehe You accidently are complaining about a feature rather than a negative aspect of a program. I am driven nuts by programs that use a combo-box to make you choose what type of file you want to open, and refuse to show you anything that doesn't match. I am always resetting them to show all files, which is what Kurzweil does by default. By the way, if it doesn't say any extention it means the file is a KES file. I won't mention any names, but an employee of an organization for the blind once told me that a TXT copy of my resume didn't exist on a disk I gave her to check for formatting piculiarities. I was confused for a short time, but when I got home I saw both files existed, and realized that she was neither smart enough nor trained enough to figure out that Word would not show the TXT file if it was only set to show DOC files. I can understand being confused about that at first, but I would think someone claiming to be the expert on creating resumes with WORD would be able to handle it. So much for professionals. :-) Sarah Van Oosterwijck http://home.earthlink.net/~netentity/ ----- Original Message ----- From: "robert tweedy" <rtweedy2@xxxxxxx> To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, December 22, 2004 10:08 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] k1000 > My first question is how to open a book that is currently in my dockinments. > For example in open book you can tell it what type of file such as rtf, or > HTML, or bookshare.
