Hi, Debby, thanks for your comments. I appreciate making friends on this list. Wish me well, for I'm going to try proofreading again and hope it works out that every word is spelled right, every sentence lacks nothing the author intended to write and I hope my job is good enough that it ends up in the collection. Cross your fingers. Regards, Kim. -----Original Message----- From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Debby Franson Sent: Friday, October 30, 2009 7:50 PM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: taking the plungeRE: Re: bookbooks Hi Kim! Take your time when learning the scanning. There is no rush, and I know you can do it. You express yourself well, so I agree with whoever said it quite a few messages ago that you are sharp. Just a little shaky confidence now. A few years ago, I tried OmniPage, and that OCR package baffled me, so I know the feeling about something that is baffling.
