Hi Mayrie,

I ran across "Save Partially" when I first got my Kurzweil. It stopped accepting commands, and it wouldn't save or close the file, or close the program. I'd scanned in a whole book, and I was trying desperately to save my work. For some reason, the File menu didn't work to save or save as--but the "Save Partially" worked. Now I use it every once in a while!

Hi Sandi,

Thanks for the tip.  I have never used that option.  But on the rare
occasion when a file won't save (usually because the default file name
contains weird characters) this might help.

Thanks again.

Mayrie

Hi Gail,

If you know your file is already saved as an rtf, even though Kurzweil is
telling you different, my best advice is to close the file without saving it
again, close Kurzweil and restart it.  If you have not already saved the
file, there are a couple of things you can do:

Mayrie has already told you how to save a kes file.  Kurzweil should work
from either type of file, but the point is to get the file saved one way or
another without losing your scanning work!

You can go into the Kurzweil File menu and select "Save Partially." You can save all the pages in the file (first check to see how many there are). You
need to tab through the dialogue.  It will say "Save will start with Page
1," and until you change it, it will also say it will end with Page 1. You
can type in the correct page.  Then, if the file has not yet been saved,
when you press enter, you will get the message that "This file has not been
saved before."  Then you're back to saving the file as you normally would.

The reason I mention this option is that sometimes, when Kurzweil hits a
glitch, if you just try to hit save, it sits there and does nothing. But it
will work to open the file menu and "Save Partially."  I've saved at least
three books this way!

Hello,

Anyone else have this experience?











At the beginning of several pages in a book I am working on Kurzweil says
"the page appears to be blank"
If I arrow down the page line by line there indeed is text.
If I read in continuous mode the text reads fine.

If anyone else has experienced this how do I change Kurzweil's mind so the

announcement goes away?
