Garry, I never convert my kes book to RTf until I am ready to send it. this means I never open the RTF file. The problem always happens when I am in kes format. I use gray scale almost all the time, and I have sent the file to Stephen. I never thought of asking for another disk from Kurzweil. I'll try that, and see what they say. Thanks for the idea.

Do not make an RTF file to work on because of what K1000 does with blank pages in that mode, or, if you do, be prepared to insert blank pages where they should go. What setting did you use, static, grayscale or what? Good luck with your problem. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jim To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, September 28, 2007 7:11 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Boy am I discouraged. Monica, it is indeed a good idea. ----- Original Message ----- From: Monica Willyard To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, September 27, 2007 10:38 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Boy am I discouraged. Jim, I can hear the frustration in your message. I'd feel that way too after such a long scan. To have this happen twice has got to be frustrating. Is this a problem you have with other books on your machine? Given that I don't know much about your situation, May I offer a suggestion? After scanning the last page, I would press control s to save and then use Kurzweil's save as feature to save the file under a second name. I might even make an rtf file at this point as well. I would use the second file as my file to edit with rank spelling and such so that the original scan is preserved in case anything goes wrong later. You may already be doing this, so please disregard my suggestion if it isn't a good idea.
