Valerie, you're out of my territory. :( I wish I could help. I use Kurzweil
to proofread all of my books. I hope someone like Jamie will know about how
to do it. If not, we can search the archives of this list on Freelists for
an answer.

I am guessing I would need to rescan this book, then, since it came
to me with spaces and tabs, not the real tables. I got it early in
my proofing, before I was scanning. The original submitter bought and
sent me a copy of the book, so I guess I could do it over as a BSO
and have someone else proofread it. Are there special techniques for
preserving the tables in Word? I seem to remember that posted way
back, before it affected me...
