Hi Bud,
I would call Kurzweil, and if I am not mistaken you will have a fairly easy,
but still annoying solution.
I have been in your shoes, smile, with the File type can not be determined.

Hi,
They're not in any file form when I get them, I'm scanning a book. I
save them in .kes while I'm scanning them and change it to .rtf
before sending them to Bookshare. You're right, I don't do any
backup, I just scan and read for a while and then do other things and
come back to it the next day or whatever. I sure don't want to get
involved in backups and all that just to scan a book. Anyway, I
thought I'd call Kurzweil Monday and see what they say.
