I also do editing in the original kes file to ensure I don't lose page
numbers and it's just an easy way to do the editing and the spell
checking is very easy to use in k1000 as well.

Hello,
These instructions are absolutely on the mark. One thing I would
recommend to those who are using both OpenBook and K1K is that it's
often faster to do edits in the native formats--.ARK for OpenBook and
.KES for Kurzweil. I make sure that I complete all necessary edits
prior to converting the file to RTF. In fact, this is one of the last
steps.

Patti,
Here's what to expect when converting files to RTF and opening them at a
later time.
To convert to RTF:
1. Select Save As from the File menu..
2. Hit the Tab key once to move to the File Type menu..
3. Type R to quickly select RTF files.
4. Hit Shift-Tab to move back to the File Name field, and you'll see
that the file name now has a .RTF extension.
5. Hit the Enter key, and OpenBook will display the following message
(or close to it). You have chosen to save in RTF format. This may
result in loss of attributes. It will also warn you that large files
may take a while, and it will ask you to press OK.
6. Hit the Enter key and wait for the file name to be spoken with the
RTF extension. When you hear the new file name, the file has been saved
as RTF.
Now later, after you've exited OpenBook and started it back up.
1. Press Ctrl-O or select Open from the File menu.
2. Hit the Tab key once to move to the File Type menu..
3. Type R to quickly select RTF files.
4. Hit Shift-Tab twice to move back to the list of existing files, and
you'll find the files that you saved as RTF.
5. Select the file you want and hit Enter. You'll probably get a
warning that the file is large and may take a while to open. If you do,
then just hit Enter again.
That should do it.
Gerald

Hi Jonna. Thanks for your message. I have just discovered
something which I have never run across before, and this now, since I
put in the update to OB. It tells me my txt or rtf files are saved,
when, in fact thaty are not; and it also tells me that the files cannot
be opened. So; I have my book saved, but as an Ark file. I guess that
is all right, but I don't think I am going to be able to fix it in any
kind of word document. Plus I really don't have a good word document,
only word perfect and I really don't know how to use it. But what do
you all think gives with my getting this error message that txt and rtf
files can't be opened? I know this isn't an Open Book list but we do
talk about scanning, so hope no one minds the question. Took me a few
minutes of trying to find the crazy files before it occured to me that
they are not really being saved.
