Hi Amber: I usually keep the book in kes until I am ready to upload it. This way there's less chance of weird corruptions. I don't know what to say regarding your issue though.

I am using Kurzweil eight. I notice when I am scanning paperbacks, using some paperback settings someone gave me, odd things happen. I'll try to explain it as best as I can. When I convert it to .rtf, then go back into Kurzie to edit, and read, the writing almost seems choppy, and when I arrow down, it appears that the letters in each word are vertical, not across the page. Because of this, the page numbering and breaks are all off. Does this even make sense and how do I fix it? It's really messing up some of my files.
