Dear Rachel;
Welcome to Bookshare and the intrepid troops full of deranged perfectionists
who desire to make books as good as they can be. Microsoft Word tables are
perfectly acceptable, and we use them often for table of contents among other
areas. When using Microsoft Word, I generally use the convert text to table
function with tabs between fields. Hopefully that makes sense.
Enjoy and let us know what you like working on and if you have any desire to be
trained and mentored for scanning as well as what type of equipment you are
currently using if you do scan. I am primarily a Mac person, but I scan in
Windows to accommodate the superior quality of my OpticBook scanner.
Again, a warm welcome and looking forward to hearing more about your interests
and work. :-)
Valerie
