HI Cindy,
If you paste just the individual parts of the list into Word, you can
then alphabetize and the duplicates will become really easy to find. But
you have to paste only the list of books being scanned by volunteers into
Word, or it'll try to alphabetize everything in the file. I tried it with
one of your lists and it worked pretty well.

Thanks, Donna. I've decided that's what's best to do. That way I can get the
list fixed up and get back to proofing. smile There are so many entries and
I've messed it up trying to follow everyone's suggestions that sounded good
to me. but I do still have the original list to work from. It will take a
little time but not too long, now that i've decided what to do.
Does anyone know a program that will magically find and eliminate
duplicates?

Hi all,
I haven't really participated in this thread, but I am going to toss in my
$.02. Cindy works very hard to put this list together, and keep it updated.
I think that we should think carefully before making this any harder for
her. Cindy, you do a great job, and we all appreciate your work. I would
say, just do this in the way that's easiest for you.
Best,
Donna

Bob, I started to do that. and I put a sort of heading:title, autho, scanner
or processor, froofread.I think it's a good idea, but some of the titles are
so long, that the other sections dn't fit under the headings. I can, and
started to, put the heading above the line. We'll see how ir works out,
i.e., what the reaction is, when I post the list tonight

Hi Cindy.
If you could separate the fields (author, title, scannor, and proofer) with
tabs instead of spaces then those who wanted to use a spreadsheet could
easily convert the file. Also, it would be fairly easy to sort the various
fields such as title thus making it easier to look for duplicates, or for
people trying to see what they are down for scanning.
I don't know how much trouble that would be but if it could be done I think
it would make for a neat tool.
Just a suggestion.
Bob

Mayrie and Jamie
I think what I'm going to do is work on the list, a little at a time, as I
have time between proofing and appts and other stuff. I'll work in Word
(rtf) and double-space between entries. Book title, author, scanner and if
someone has said they want to proof, proofer will be on one line.
Maybe after I get rid of duplications ll will be well and the html I attach
to send to Pavi won't be too large. It was sending both the being-scanned
and wish list at the same time that caused the problem. If it turns out to
be too large I'll change it to html and save as txt and sent it.Jamie and I
tested it out, and I think hat ill work.
In the meantme, I'll continue to post updates as they occur.
Someone asked how to search the list. Just do a Find for the title or author
of the book you're considering scanning and you'll be taken to it on the
list and will also see, at the end of that line, who's scanning it (some
people like to proof books scanned by particular people--you'll also if
somone has asked to proofread it

HI Cindy,
The more I think about the size of your list, I see how much space it
would save not having blank lines between entries. I respectfully withdraw
my request for blank lines between entries. They look nice, but they do
take up space, and are not necessary if every title/author/scanner is on a
line together and only one book per line.

If I can set myself to try to something new (not saying I will--I may just
stick to Word and skipping lines between entries (at the age of 73, surely
you can, Roger. I took a look at my document with the htm symbols instead of
words, lines and spaces and it's not pretty. smile

Well, if it comes to learning how to do something then I suppose I do a
better job of learning it by doing it myself, but that doesn't mean that a
better job is a good job. That's a hell of a position to be in, knowing all
kinds of things, but not being able to do a damned thing.

I am just the opposite. Chem and bio labs were great for me. Lecture was a
nightmare. I have to do it to learn it. I can't just listen and learn or
read
and learn (probably why I can't figure out how to replace the darned thing
