Hi Shannon, Did you try going down on your C drive to OpenBook's library and trying to open the files that way? I don't know if that will work, but if you can open the files, perhaps you can save them in RTF format. Best of luck.

I have several books that I've scanned that are trapped inside Open Book 7.02. I can not get the software to launch, and so, I can not convert the files to .rtf, or even open them to edit them in their original format. I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to solve this. I really don't want to rescan all the books using kurzweil, as that would be quite a pain. I'm wondering if I'm going to have to re-install open book. Any help would be appreciated. Shannon Who can heal, but one who has healed herself? Who can know, but one who has asked and sought?
