Hi John, I have no idea what it means, but what about contacting the scanner to find out whether it is a scanno or part of the text before you do anything with it? HTH! Marty From: John Simpson Sent: Tuesday, July 31, 2012 5:34 PM To: Bookshare List Subject: [bksvol-discuss] What does [SRT] mean" The book that I am currently proofing is liberally sprinkled with '[SRT]' in the text. It doesn't seem to affect the meaning nor to represent punctuation of any kind. It will be easy to globally replace. I am just curious about where it came from and what it means. Thanks.
