Hi, Maureen, welcome to the list. I proofread books occasionally for Bookshare and have learned how to strip headers from pages. Are you using a screen reader or can you see? I use Jaws when I proofread along with a BrailleNote mPower as a Braille display. All I can tell you is what I learned to do. Write back and I'll tell you as well as I can what I do. Welcome to the list and I hope you have a great time. You are very appreciated. Regards, Kim Friedman. P.S.: To write me off list, I'm at kimfri11@xxxxxxxxxxxx K. -----Original Message----- From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Maureen Pranghofer Sent: Wednesday, May 19, 2010 8:16 PM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: questions from a newby scanner Hello, I'm scanning a book for the first time for bookshare. I checked the lists of what is being scanned and on the wish list. When I tried to open the attachment of publishers and other sources my computer would not respond. Is there something else I need to do to let someone know what book I'm scanning or does the book just go into the system when I submit it? Also I read the scanning mannual but was unclear as to whether I needed to take off headers or whether the tool strips them when I submit the book, thank you.
