Hi, Scott! I use K1K most of the time, although I have Open Book as well.
I believe I tried the Save As option in Open Book at some point, and I think
it worked, now that you mention it. <Smile> I was working on this with a
customer of mine a couple of months ago, and I believe that I came to the
conclusion that the Launch option wasn't a good one for books, but the Save
As dialog works just fine.

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.
