Hi Lori,
When you hit the odd sequence of characters and it seems like
Openbook just crashed on you, it is actually IBM's ViaVoice that is
doing the crashing.
One thing you can do so that you don't lose any of your editing is
hit a Control-S to save any changes before getting out of Openbook
and restarting. When I edit I also save new changes under a
different file name every time. I use the Save As choice from the
file menu whenever I start a new edit session and just tack on a
number to the end of the original file name. This way if I do
something dumb, or the file becomes corrupted, I don't loose all my
efforts. When I finally finish I upload the last copy and then
delete all the earlier renditions.
Another way to get around the ViaVoice crashes is to not use it but
use your screen reader software instead for speech in Openbook.

Jim and All,
Open Book has problems too. When reading a document, open book will
crash if it finds an unusual string of characters, i.e.,
^^^...,^. Sometimes it will crash during a lengthy find and
replace, and sometimes it will crash for no reason! Also, as I have
written before, it does not always work properly in two-page mode.We
have a friend who works with computers, and he believes that
Kurtzweil is more stable.
Even so, your problem, Jim, sounds very frustrating. Wish I had
some suggestions to offer.
