Hi Melissa!Thanks for your compliment. When I told my husband that I was using the abacus in this application, he thought it was a good idea too.

Debby, That's a really good idea. I just might have to pick one up, and then remember how to use it. I haven't had one since I graduated high school.Melissa Debby Franson wrote:Hi Chela!Yes, an abacus is a mathematics tool, which works perfectly in this application, because I am using it to add each page number to it, so you might say I am adding very slowly. That way, when there is a page number missing in the book (sometimes the OCR software misses them), I can check my abacus's number and type it in the document, which is better than finding the last page in the document when I forget to put it into the clipboard to have it ready to dump in and increment up, eliminating the back and forth stuff, which slows down my proofing.Debby At 10:47 PM 11/4/2009, Chela Robles wroteDumb question: isn't an abacus a mathematics tool? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Debby Franson" <the.bee@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, November 04, 2009 8:11 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Proofing With OB and an Abacus in the Mix,Hi everyone!Along with Word and OB, I decided to use my abacus to help me remember what the last page number was in case one didn't scan. I'm making it easier on myself as I go along.Debby --Enjoy what you have rather than desiring what you don't have.
