Well, I can now join the list of the truncated ones, sigh. As well, it ate my file! I was editing City of Dreams a 340 page book, on page 320 and when I reopened the book after saving, it was only half their! I have read most of the book know what errors to be looking for, so am thinking of trying Guido and Jim's editing styles in Kurzweil on this one, and finishing the end of the book, growl, smile, twenty pages to go. Sheesh. I have Keysoft version 5.0 so not sure if 5.1 is supposed to solve this, but growl. smile. But still frustrating. I wrote Pulsedata about it, and the conversion problems from Keyword to .rtf, as if they fix either problem I would be happy. Smile. Is this a reasonable way to back up my work for the future, you know that hind sight thing can really suck. Save the file, make a copy of it, and rename to label it as number two or three or what have you on the flash disk? Any experienced people from the ate file districts want to help me out, smile. am very frustrated after the munching. Shelley L.
