Hi Mayrie. Yeah you can create tables in Kurzweil--it's in the edit menu under
tables.
But, I'm not sure I trust it. I tried setting up the tables in k1000 reading
the manual as I did it. And they came out all wrong.
So, I took your advice and created them in word, and now they work fine. But I
still hate word.

Hi Bob,
I didn't think one could actually create a table in Kurzweil. Of course,
I admit freely to not having read the user's manual from cover to cover, but
could be wrong. I thought that Kurzweil could interpret tables when the OCR
engines found them, but not that it could create them like Word can.
But if I'm wrong, then, please, correct me. I'd like to know if creating
tables in Kurzweil is possible the way that it is in Word.
I'm not a Word fanatic either, by the way, only use it when I must, but I
do use it when I must.

Mayrie. Obviously you aren't aware of the depths of my detestation of word or
you wouldn't ask.
Actually, I've thought of doing that. But I'd still like to know why it isn't
working in cozy Kurzy.

HI Bob,
Uh, I can't help you with Kurzweil, but I ask, why not just fix this in
Word? It's very simple, and would save you the headache you're obviously
struggling with using K1000.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] K1000 and tables
Hi gang.
I've run into a bit of a sticky wicket (as my British friends often say).
I am proofing a book that has several tables in it. [[beginning of
advertisement]: see the newly produced document concerning the use of tables in
books in the scanning and proofing manual
https://wiki.benetech.org/display/BSO/Scanning+and+Proofreading+Manual
[end of advertisement]]!
These tables are causing me all kinds of trouble with pagination as they
span multiple pages, but I don't think they were meant to-do so in the original
book. The scanner just didn't know what to do with them.
I say these are tables, but they aren't really. They are strict text with
two line spaces between each cell.
Ok, here's my question (multiple sighs around the internet). I've converted
these textuals back to tables in Kurzweil, inserting tabs between cells and a
linefeed between rows. But when I invoke the convert to table command in k1000
it always comes out with a table that is one column wide and way to many rows.
Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong? Heck, does anyone know what I am
talking about?
Thanks,
Bob
