Hi List: I have a solution for the missing last character bug. Stephen Baum from Kurzweil sent me a file that fixes the missing character issue. However, there's a couple of things to be aware. When you open the rtf file, a dialog box comes up. But you hit enter and it opens the file anyway. The other thing is that when the up arrow is used to go up from the top of the current page to the previous page, it does not read the last line on the page unless you hit the home or end key. Frankly I rather deal with these 2 minor quirks than having to fix the stripped character. Stephen has given me permission to pass on this file if anyone else on bookshare is experience this same issue. So if you need this file please feel free to email me at silvara@xxxxxxx ***** Grace
