Thanks. I did not intend to start out big , I did not know the file was
going to be big, it turned out to be more than I'd bargained for but
since I have it I might as well do it.
Thanks for the K1000 hints, I have used it most for reading and scanning
and have not done a lot of the rank spelling or editing yet. I have a
feeling that is about to change. Now, if it will quit locking up on me
today.

Hi Rose,
Wow, you're brave to take on a gigantic project like this for your first
validation effort. Your experience with medical terminology is a great
asset
for the Bookshare collection. Just make sure you do other more fun
validations too so you don't get Bookshare burnout. <grin>
Here are some instructions/suggestions for your situation.
First, it may be that the tabs following the hyphens are throwing off
Kurzweil's auto-correction feature. Try replacing hyphen followed by tab
with just hyphen, then run the autocorrect again and see if it helps.
The
way to make a tab in the find/replace box is \t
If that doesn't work, what you might want to do is replace hyphen
followed
by newline, or hyphen followed by tab newline, whichever is occurring,
with
nothing. To do this in Kurzweil all you have to know is that the way to
make
a tab in the find/replace dialogue is \t and the newline character is \n
So to fix a hyphen followed by tab and linebreak you would hit ctrl-h to
enter the find/replace box, then type -\t\n and put nothing in the
replace
with field. After you've done a mass f/r such as this, it's always good
to
check around and make sure it didn't have any unintended consequences.
So I
would save any other changes you made before starting this so you won't
lose
any other changes you may have made if something goes funky with the
f/r.
I'm sorry if this message is a bit scrambled, I've been dealing with a
three-day-long migraine, and between that and the unfortunately not as
effective as I'd like medicine I may not be running on all eight
cyllinders.
