Evan,
It works beautifully but can I press my luck. There are some words
legitimately in "bold" print in the book I am working on but very few. If it
were possible, if I could set the format/font for the whole book I could
eliminate all of the bold print and then insert it in those rare places where
it is needed and legitimate. The same would be true of a change in font size.
as all the page headings come out in bold and larger size than needed. Now
that I now how I have been emboldened to debold all of them as they are
noticeable only to the sighted and I find them more of a distraction as they
are. The headings themselves are helpful since there are 17 stories in this
collection and while they are different I do find it helpful to remind myself
which one I am reading. The page numbers are in so small and light a print that
if I did not add them in most cases they would not be there or what is there is
not a clear, correct number. I was changing them as I scanned but it takes so
long that way I will wait until I validate before correcting them. I just check
to make sure that each page has a limited number of corrections needed - which
I plan to do myself - or I will rescan until it comes out as close to flawless
as possible. Thus a preliminary correction throughout to get the font and print
correct would be enormously timesaving, The K-1000's word correction has been a
lifesaver for just that.

Amy,
I don't know if there is a keyboard combination for creating or deleting bold
or italic text in K1000, but if you select the text you want to italicize or
boldify, or deitalicize or deboldify, go to the Edit menu, and arrow up or down
to Format. Hit Enter on that and you will get a submenu with Font as the first
entry. Hit Enter on Font and a dialog box will open. Tab through it and,
among other things such as type of font and size, you will hear K1000 say
whether the selected text is bolded, italicized, or not, or whether some is and
some is not. You can use the up and down arrows to disable or enable bold and
italics on the piece of text you have selected. This will let you create bold
or italic text wherever you want, and remove it wherever you want.
HTH

I scanned & validated Faulkner's The Town and submitted it with the hope of
downloading it to do some fixing on indentations and removing bold print with
WordPerfect whereas I had done most of the validating with Kurzweil. I don't
know how to undo italics and bold print where they should not be nor how to put
them in with Kurzweil.
Well, to make a long story short, my allergy to WinZip showed up when I
downloaded the book and not only could not unzip it but could not find it where
I thought I put it and eventually what I had was garbage that had to be
deleted.
It is not listed in the validation queue so I believe it is still
listed as my having it so if nothing else it should show up after 7 days but if
anyone has found it and wants to finish the job feel free as what I submitted
was excellent except for the 2 problems I mention above and which may be solved
by the Bookshare programming - I think/hope/guess. But would you please let me
know that it has been found. I wrote John about it but got no reply and am not
sure I sent it to the right address but I put a lot of time and effort into it
and before I start on The Mansion I want to be sure that the previous volumes
have been accepted so I won't repeat any mistakes. The Town should show up in
the Download list for review by this weekend.
