Hi Bob,
Since this was my book, I'll add a bit more to this.
I took another look at the rtf file I submitted. The table was already
mangled before I sent it in, I just didn't realize it.
So it seems the problem occurred when the file was converted from kes to rtf
and I don't know why. It hasn't ever happened that I am aware of to any of the
other books I've scanned.

You've got it Mayrie.
I want to know why the table was in tact when the submitter sent it in, and
was badly mauled when I got it.

Hi Bob,
I'm sorry. I don't understand the question you're asking. Are you
asking why the submitter said the table was fine, but you encountered something
that didn't seem fine, and want to know how it got messed up?

Hi.
I recently proofread "
HOWARD DEAN'S PRESCRIPTION FOR HEALTHCARE REFORM
How We Can Achieve Affordable Medical Care for Every American and Make Our
Jobs Safer".
In one place there was a table of figures. In the file I downloaded the
table spanned two pages which was awkward to read and through off the
pagination.
When I wrote the person who scanned the book she told me the table was fine
when she sent the book in.
My question is, when dealing with tables, what can be done to preserve the
integrity of the table?
Thanks.
Bob
