I just realized that a book I scaned and sent to bookshare had a lot of tabs in
it and I didn't replace them with nothing, should have. OOPS, there were 1409
of them in Katapult alone, oops indeed! Oh well,
suppose I live and learn, though nothing is said during the reading so didn't
think of it much. I wonder what other kinds of characters can be gotten rid of
with that backslash letter command, should look it up in the
K1000 manual, but which are most prominent?
Thanks!

Hi Tiffany,
Thanks, I'm going to finish scanning the book first and then will eliminate
all the tabs.
I appreciate this groups knowledge and help.
