Hi Chela!Yes, an abacus is a mathematics tool, which works perfectly in this application, because I am using it to add each page number to it, so you might say I am adding very slowly. That way, when there is a page number missing in the book (sometimes the OCR software misses them), I can check my abacus's number and type it in the document, which is better than finding the last page in the document when I forget to put it into the clipboard to have it ready to dump in and increment up, eliminating the back and forth stuff, which slows down my proofing.

I'm making it easier on myself as I go along.Debby --Enjoy what you have rather than desiring what you don't have.
