Jana, you mentioned trouble converting openbook text into another format. I
haven't noticed that particular problem since I began using openbook 7.0, and
now 7.02. Are you operating an older version? Also, have you tried simply
scanning the text and then using the save as or file conversion features? If
so, do these yield the same results?

Hi, everyone! I think Scott's idea is a great one, except for one thing.
I've noticed that when I bring up a file or scan a file into Open Book and then
launch it into Word, I seem to lose a lot of formatting. In fact, sometimes
Word (or Duxbury, too, for that matter) seems to put all of the text into one
huge paragraph. So, if FS would improve this feature, it would be doable.
Downloading books in the .ark format and uploading them in RTF is certainly
allowed... Or did I misunderstand Tiffany's last post? <Smile>

I guess essentially it could be done that way--as if you resubmitted the
book only in another format, but then how does the real submitter obtain the
submission credit? The validater would have to know to download both copies,
and though they would be using the rtf copy, also know to reject the copy which
was originally in rtf and then after validating the rtf copy then approve the
submission which was originally in ark. It seems much too complicated.

Yes, this is true, but would it be possible for those of us with the
Openbook program to download the file and then re-upload it via the Step 1
page? There would then be two copies, but the new submitter could make a note
to that affect. just a thought.

problem is, when you release a book, it goes back up in it's original
format/condition.

I have a kind of half formed thought about how we might be able to
get more people validating the .ark books. Could someone that has Openbook
download the file, convert it to .rtf, then release it back to the web site as
a rich text format file, thus allowing someone else to get their hands on the
books they'd personally like to validate? I might not quite have the logistics
down, but there must be a solution we can work out.

Hi Alison,
Arc is the format used by Openbook, another OCR package that's a
competitor to Kurzweil. Unfortunately if you don't have Openbook, you can't
work on those files. It's a shame to because I would like to get my hands on
that great big pile of language teaching and learning books that someone
submitted.
