Cindy, Do you edit the .rft files with openbook? If so, may I email you off
list with some rather dumb questions?
Happy Thanksgiving to all. Our turkey is in the oven and everything else is
good to go!

Hi, Cindy. I know you have never seen a copy of Kurzweil in action since you
use Openbook, so what I wrote about how I validate probably doesn't make sense
to you. Kurzweil has several tools that make proofreading easier and faster to
do than in Word. Rank spelling, easy page deletion, persistent bookmarks, and
topic-based OCR correction word lists are just a few of these tools. While
Microsoft Word is a very powerful program, it wasn't designed from the ground
up to work around the concept of reading and editing scanned books. I
especially appreciate how Kurzweil will open a file at the page I was on last
if I close the program and open it again. I don't have to leave some text in a
file to remind me where I was or remember that I was on page 242 so I can tell
Word to take me to that page. So ultimately, it's about speed and comfort level
for me. (smile)

How come you change section breaks in Word and then do the rest in
Kurzweil? I don't have a problem with it, but why not just do the whole thing
in Word once in Word?

Hi, Bob. To my knowledge, Kurzweil cannot recognize the section breaks in
Carrie's scans. FineReader inserts them, and that's something Carrie can't
change. She would if her software would allow it. Someone else may know things
I don't. When I take one of Carrie's books, I load it into Word and fix the
section breaks. I save it and then load it in Kurzweil to finish validating.
That scheme works well for me. I wish I had a better answer to give you.
