I am going to upgrade to Kurzweil 11 with in the next few days. I have been using Kurzweil 8. Will I still be able to open files I created in eight in version 11? Will I still be able to use my scanner, since it is very old? It works well with eight but I just want to make sure it will work with 11. Thanks.
