Hope, Oh how frustrating! It sounds like the procedure for saving in Openbook must be different from what I'm used to in Kurzweil. I can sympathize though--I once accidentally deleted my entire books folder in Kurzweil, back before it used the recycle bin. I lost a collection of stories by Pushkin, Star Wars the Phantom Menace, and a book on grammar for English-speaking students of French among other unremembered things. Now I'm more careful. I'm really sorry that you'll have to rescan your book--I'll bet you'll become an obsessive saver from now on. <grin> Kellie
