Hi all. you can save the web braille file without going through all of the
translating and stuff. Do the following. **following excerpted from faq**
Q1. Is there an easy way to download Web-Braille (.brf) files with Internet
Explorer?
A1. If your Internet Explorer opens .brf files and you would prefer to have
the option of downloading these files without opening them first, one way to
do this is to create a registered file type for .brf file extensions.
For all versions of Windows:
List of 13 items (contains 3 nested lists)
. 1. Open My Computer or Windows Explorer.
. 2. Do an alt-v (Windows 95 and 98) to open the View menu or an alt-t
(Windows ME, 2000, and XP) to open the Tools menu.
. 3. Select "options" or "folder options".
. 4. You will be presented with a tabbed dialog box. Press the tab key until
you reach the tab controls and right arrow twice to reach the "file types"
tab.
. 5. Tab until you reach "new..." or "new type..." and press enter.
For Windows 95 and 98:
. 6. Tab through the fields and fill in the following:
List of 3 items nesting level 1
. A. Description of type: Here you can enter whatever you like, these are
the words you will see on the file types list. One possibility is:
"formatted
braille file".
. B. Associated Extension: brf
. c. Content Type: application
list end nesting level 1
For Windows Me, 2000 and XP:
. 6. Tab through the fields and fill in the following:
List of 3 items nesting level 1
. a. For "file extension" type "brf".
. B. tab to "advanced" and press enter. You will be in the "file type
associations" combo box.
. C. Start typing the word "application" fairly quickly and when you reach
appl, you should land on it. Tab to ok and press enter. Tab to close and
press
enter.
list end nesting level 1
For all versions of Windows:
Once you have created a file type for .brf files, if you want to be able to
view the file online, you will need to specify an action. If you don't wish
to specify an action at this time, tab to "close" and press enter.
For Windows 95 and 98:
. 7. Keep tabbing until you reach "action" and then tab once more to
"new...".
For Windows ME, 2000, and XP:
. 7. Tab until you reach the registered files type listview and be sure the
brf file type is highloighted.
For Windows ME and 2000:
. 8. Tab until you reach "Advanced" and press enter. Then tab until you
reach "action" and then tab once more to "new...".
For all versions of Windows, except XP:
. 9. Press enter on "new" and fill in the following two fields:
List of 3 items nesting level 1
. A. Action: open
. B. Application to perform action: (here you can put in any editor that you
would like to use. If you don't know what to put in, try: "C:\program
files\accessories\wordpad.exe"
"%1" Be sure to use the quotes, they are important.
For Windows XP
. 9. Tab until you reach "Change..." and press enter. You will be in a
treeview of "Programs". Press the first letter of the program you want, such
as "n"
for "Notepad" or "w" for "Wordpad".
list end nesting level 1
. 10. Tab to ok and press enter.
. 11. Tab to close and press enter. You are back in the options dialog box.
list end
Now when you select a .brf file while in Internet Explorer, you will be
prompted to either "save this file to disk" or "open this file in its
current location".
You can also designate the directory where you would like the file saved.
hope this helps.
