Hi, Cindy. I know you have never seen a copy of Kurzweil in action since you use Openbook, so what I wrote about how I validate probably doesn't make sense to you. Kurzweil has several tools that make proofreading easier and faster to do than in Word. Rank spelling, easy page deletion, persistent bookmarks, and topic-based OCR correction word lists are just a few of these tools. While Microsoft Word is a very powerful program, it wasn't designed from the ground up to work around the concept of reading and editing scanned books. I especially appreciate how Kurzweil will open a file at the page I was on last if I close the program and open it again. I don't have to leave some text in a file to remind me where I was or remember that I was on page 242 so I can tell Word to take me to that page. So ultimately, it's about speed and comfort level for me. (smile)

How come you change section breaks in Word and then do the rest in Kurzweil? I don't have a problem with it, but why not just do the whole thing in Word once in Word? Cindy Lou Ray. Each day is a new adventure.

    Hi, Bob. To my knowledge, Kurzweil cannot recognize the section
    breaks in Carrie's scans. FineReader inserts them, and that's
    something Carrie can't change. She would if her software would
    allow it. Someone else may know things I don't. When I take one of
    Carrie's books, I load it into Word and fix the section breaks. I
    save it and then load it in Kurzweil to finish validating. That
    scheme works well for me. I wish I had a better answer to give you.
