Cindy,
So far I haven't had that trouble, probably because I scan and correct in
Kurzweil and do very little validating. I'm glad Rose solved her problem.
She really worked hard and deserves a lot of credit.

Hi, JIm,
I've tried that with a couple of things and for some reason the things I've pasted aren't recognized and aren't changed -- nor have they been when I've typed them in. Usually that works, but with some things, it doesn't. The only thing I can figure is that although what I see looks normal, like the same thing in my word, it's somehow different in the scanner's ocr. I've had to change it manually.
