Hi,
I'm using version 11 of K1000. Is this split long pages option in the
converstion menu/options for .txt or .rtf files?
I'm ok with bouncing back and forth between formats, problem is, I know
just enough in both K1000 and Word to be dangerous, but I am slightly more
familiar with K1000 then with Word. What you said about checking the number
of pages in both programs before submitting the final edited book makes
perfect sense, though, and I'll have a look around and change that one
setting if I can find it.

Hi Caitlyn,
Could you tell us, please, what version of Kurzweil 1000 you're
using?
If you are using version 11 of K1000, you need to have the "split
long pages" option disabled under conversion settings. Not having this done
can result in extra blank pages in your document.
It is generally not recommended to convert back and forth between
formats. I have on occasion converted to kes format and then back to rtf
for final uploading as you suggest, but you need to make sure before you do
this that the number of pages is the same in Word as in K1000 before
converting. It is simpler to work with the rtf file in Word, if K1000 is
giving you trouble, if you have limited experience bouncing between formats
and knowing what to look for to make sure nothing gets lost in conversion.
Sorry, I haven't had any coffee yet, and can't remember what pitfalls might
await you if you convert to kes format. Not helpful, I know. I'll try to
think more clearly later, if you still have questions.
As far as I know, there is no way to make control characters such as page
breaks visible like there is in Word when using Kurzweil 1000. However, if
you would like to merge two pages, you can do so by placing your cursor on
the second of the two pages that you'd like to merge then press control
plus shift plus enter. That's an alternative to the erase page feature,
when the second page is blank, though no fewer keystrokes.
Hope some of that helps.
Mayrie

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] K1000 and editing .rtf files question
Hi Everybody,
I am trying to edit a book using K1000. This particular book has a *ton* of
useless blank pages which I am attempting to get rid of. It also has some
scanner extra chacters which I am editing out. I've read through a lot of
this book and made the changes I want to make, and saved the file every time
I made a change(paranoid, maybe??).. When I opened the file today, none of
the changes "stuck". Would it be better to do .rtf files in Word, or would
it be better to convert the m to a .kes file, edit them, then convert back
to .rtf? Further, is there a way to trun formatting info on in K1000 so I
could delete things like hard page breaks, etc, rather then hitting the
"delete page xxx" key?
Thanks!
Caitlyn
