That's what I do with Word, Mayrie! And of course, I definitely keep several copies of the book I'm proofing!

It's a Kurzweil thing. So, I ALWAYS save in kes and rtf simultaneously. I have current and working files of both types at all times. I do the work primarily in the kes file, and save frequently in both files so that nothing will be lost. Just saying. And it isn't just Kurzweil 12. It's been this way for quite a few versions now. But once you figure out how to foil the gremlins, things go along swimmingly. Your way works just as well, I imagine, but I find that Kurzweil is happiest, and snappiest editing in its native format, so, that's what I do and keep the rtf as the final submittable copy of any book. Just what I do though.

Personally, since I've upgraded to version 12, I'm reluctant to use .kes format. This is because if something goes wrong with my computer, and I have to force it to shut down, or it randomly decides to restart, the dear little thing, my file gets corrupted. This is probably because I'm using a netbook, and not a more powerful laptop, but I've found that if I only save it in rtf format, in my documents, and the computer does its restart thing, it did that the other day much to my disgust, the file is not lost. So, for any of you who use your netbooks as your primary computer... Julia On 21/06/2011 8:10 AM, Jennifer Aberdeen wrote: Yes, I use K1000, so it does it automatically. I might have figured out what I did wrong...I saved it in RTF and then after I finished scanning the whole book, I didn't have a copy saved in K1000 format (can't remember the exact wording).

I know this may be a silly question but did you recognize the pages after you scanned them?

I'll try that, but I can find the file name, there's just nothing there when I open it. I just hope I don't have to scan the whole book again.

Maybe you can do a Find for the title and you'll find where on you computer (or on a backup disk if you saved to that) the file is.
