Download WinBMD Version 7

Please Note:

In contrast to previous versions, this version of WinBMD stores it's files in a new folder (by default "WinBMD_Files") under your "My Documents" (or "Documents" in Windows 7). When WinBMD is first run a setup screen will appear allowing you to select this folder after which it will copy all of your existing files into it. There is nothing you need to do except click "Use Default" on that setup screen. Your transcribed files will be copied to an "Output" folder below WinBMD_Files unless you have used the WinBMD File menu option to select a different location for your transcribed files in which case that location will NOT change and your transcribed files will not be copied.

Important

If you previously had version 5 or 6 installed then after you install version 7 you will find that your previous version and version 7 are both on your computer. You will have two entries on your Start Menu and two in your Add/Remove Programs (one for your previous version and one for version 7). It should be obvious which is version 5/6 and which is version 7 (which has a 7 after it's name!). When you have run version 7 at least once you can remove version 5/6 using the appropriate Add/Remove Programs entry. DO NOT remove the previous version until you have run version 7 as it may not be able to copy your files.

If, after using WinBMD, you have any suggestions for improvements, we would appreciate your comments. Please email us at
