Hi Amber, If you want to try version 7, call Stephen at Abbyy , telephone 510-226-6717, and his extension is 123. When I tried version 8 and had trouble Carrie recomended version 7 and Stephen set up a special download for me because the newer version is all that's available through their normal download.
