Been there, done that it is being stubborn. Also ran the tools
correction thing, and I really hate the fact that I may have to
relinquish this without being able to submit it, however, if I do that,
whomever gets it should know that in about 70 pages I have read through
I don't see any term errors nor did I note any in the back of the book.

If every hyphen is followed by a tab character, it sounds like the
hyphens
shouldn't be there. A quick find and replace should fix that, as long as
you're sure they're consistently like that. Just select the hyphen and
tab
and paste it into the find and replace dialog, then replace it with
nothing,
and that should bring them together. Take care.

OK, this is strange. I started a spell check on this book and every
hyphen is followed by a tab character. This does not look fun.

I have a medical spell checker on my computer. My job is in the medical
field and so I figured I'd be familiar with the terminology and also I
have the ability to spell check, K1000 does not have a medical spell
checker and that is annoying for me since all the stuff I have scanned
in the past several months is definitely loaded with medical terms.

What about a spell check? If there are a lot of medical terms, that may
not
help. If you take the .rtf file into Kurzweil and perform a ranked
spelling,
maybe that'll help, if you're not going to read the whole thing. That'll
help give you a quicker glimpse of whether anything really should be
fixed
or not. As far as hyphens go, unless they're compound words that are
supposed to be hyphenated, the common consensus, I believe, is to put
them
together, but with that large of a book, there's little wonder that you
wouldn't want to read the whole thing! Take care.

Yeah, I hate house work.
Question, I am validating a larger project than I'd planned, Physical
Examination for Health Assessment. All the copyright info is most
definitely present.
I converted this doc file to RTF immediately.
My question is this, there are a lot of hyphenated words, and the
hyphens appear to be properly placed, my guess they were done by the
publisher, or else the submitter (no name shown) did a good job, I
should leave these alone? It would read better aloud without them, but,
this is about a 900 page document, I am not really inclined to remove
them all.
Any opinions? This book had a fair rating, although in the first few
pages, I have not found anything other than those hyphens that could be
questionable.

Mike,
That is an excellent analogy. I laughed, thinking of
my house. I spend much more time cleaning up books for
bookshare than I do on my house. smiling
embarrassedly.
