Hi, Dianne,

 

Nice to meet you and to hear about your interests.

What version of Word are you using?

I recently upgraded to Windows 7 and office 2010.  Word 2010 is quite
different than Word 2003, but I'm adjusting.

My husband and I have been volunteers for Bookshare for about six years and
we enjoy proofreading.  I occasionally will scan a book for submission, but
do prefer proofreading.

Hope you enjoy volunteering here.

 

Lori C.

Hello, Friends,

 

I am Dianne B. Phelps with guide dog, Hibiscus of Napa, California. I have
recently signed up to become a Book Share volunteer with a view toward toing
some proof reading for Book Share. I have to do a couple of things to my
Microsoft Word program and make sure I am able to run the find and replace
systems appropriately and can check for proper page breaks and the like. If
you will be patient with me for just a bit, I will begin to start this
volunteer work. I am just a bit overwhelmed with the procedures, but Mayrie
has given me some information to work with which will be very helpful.

 

I am an avid reader and read constantly, but there is no reason, I can't do
some of this with the computer and help out, for me, probably one book at a
time, at least until I really know what I am doing.

 

My preferences are definitely mysteries, biographies, some Christian fiction
and have had some experience with medical terminology in my work as a
medical transcriptionist. I also enjoy reading about animals, particularly
dogs because I am working my eighth wonderful guide who is absolutely
amazing.

 

I know many of you from other places, and it is wonderful to reconnect, and
I look forward to getting to know those whom I don't know.

 

Sending happy smiles to all,

 

Dianne B. Phelps and Hibiscus
