Hi Cindy,
You can convert tables to text in Word.
Place your cursor anywhere in the table
Press alt+a to enter the tables menu
Hit enter on "convert to text"
Choose spaces from the list of things that you can have to replace the tabs
in the table.
Hit enter on "ok"
And you're done.
Also, if you make the entire document only one size and type, then only
enlarge the title and chapter headings at the beginning of each chapter, you
won't have to change font in the table of contents.
Just a thought.
Mayrie

Is it only Kurzweill that does that? I've always had to move the page number
to the chapter title manually, usually because i now know that bookshare
doesn't retain tabs, so I move them and separate them from the chapter title
with a a space . It would be nice if there were some way Word could do it
for me. But I usually have to change the font of the chapter title or the
page number so it doesn' really matter. e

I can't say anything about most of your question, but that part about tables
of contents being formatted so that the page numbers come after the chapter
titles is a problem I have solved in Open Book 6. There is a setting that
was checked by default called "recognize columns." I just unchecked it and
now the page numbers appear on the same line as the chapter titles. I
haven't actually scanned anything that is actually in columns yet, but when
I do I expect to just check it again.

I have not read the most recently updated volunteer's manual, so my
apologies if this is covered in there.
But I wonder if someone on the list can say something about scanning a book
with tables.
I know that some programs like my version 11 of Kurzweil K-1000 does
recognize tables and does what it does with them. But I have not taken the
time yet
to know exactly how to deal with them.
As one quick example, I know that frequently k-1000 recognizes a page with
the table of contents as a table and will put the page numbers for each
chapter
title like at the end of the text. And I usually go through the work and
just move each successive page number to its corresponding chapter. Of
course
there is possibility of an error here, so I rather dislike having to do
this.
So if anyone has knowledge of a setting or what you do when you encounter a
page with tables when you are scanning, I would enjoy reading and learning
from
you about it.
Thanks.
Rik

Hi Bob,
Since this was my book, I'll add a bit more to this.
I took another look at the rtf file I submitted. The table was already
mangled before I sent it in, I just didn't realize it.
So it seems the problem occurred when the file was converted from kes to rtf
and I don't know why. It hasn't ever happened that I am aware of to any of
the other books I've scanned.

You've got it Mayrie.
I want to know why the table was in tact when the submitter sent it in, and
was badly mauled when I got it.

Hi Bob,
I'm sorry. I don't understand the question you're asking. Are you asking why
the submitter said the table was fine, but you encountered something that
didn't seem fine, and want to know how it got messed up?

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] A question on tables
Hi.
I recently proofread "
HOWARD DEAN'S PRESCRIPTION FOR HEALTHCARE REFORM
How We Can Achieve Affordable Medical Care for Every American and Make Our
Jobs Safer".
In one place there was a table of figures. In the file I downloaded the
table spanned two pages which was awkward to read and through off the
pagination.
When I wrote the person who scanned the book she told me the table was fine
when she sent the book in.
My question is, when dealing with tables, what can be done to preserve the
integrity of the table?
Thanks.
Bob
