Hi Roger!
I know people have valid complaints concerning MS Word. However, I find it a
joy to use when proofreading.
I use OpenBook version 8, save all files in RTF format, and proofread them
using MS Word 2003. I have JAWS set to announce page breaks, paragraphs,
line breaks, and any other formatting that helps me to clean up my scans.
Like you, I generally proofread a few pages at a time because it is easier
for me to catch scanning errors or spacing issues as I go. However, it isn't
necessary to do it that way. The formula Denise provided will work well.
Another reason I proofread using Word is that I can delete headers and
format title and chapter headings as I proofread the scan. Again, that is a
personal preference. Fortunately, I am still able to use MS Word 2003 on my
Windows 7 laptop. I'm so grateful that I did not have to learn to use Word
2007 because of the ribbon menus. It's doable--I was just lazy and didn't
want to do it. *smile*
If you decide to purchase a copy of Word, I would suggest that you attempt
to find a legal copy of Word 2003. It seems to me that you might be able to
find a legal copy on Amazon or some other online retailer.
Blessings.
Lynnsky
