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.
