Hi Prat,

Kurzweil must be something.  Will you please explain to me exactly what it
is?  At first I thought it was a scanner.  Is it a screen reading program?
Everything I read assumes one knows what it is.

Thanks.

Sue S.

Hello,

I recommend that you leave this book for someone who has Kurzweil 1000 9
available.  Kurzweil has an automatic tool to deal with this type of
situation.  Release the book and I'll pick it up.

Kasondra,

How about you?  I imagine you would like to eat as well.  <smile>  The sad
news is that even if your find and replace had recognized the hyphens at the
end of the line and removed them, you would have to read the whole thing and
put back the hyphens that were accidentally eliminated.  So be glad!
<smile>  I will get a lot of mail about this, but what I woulld suggest is
that as long as a word is not hyphenated from one page to the next, let the
hyphens go..  It will lower the rating because the system will judge by
parts of words, but you can put a note in the commments section explaining
why, and raise the rating to excellent if you feel everything else is in
order.  I just got Cindy off the hook.  <lol>

Thanks, Cindy.  The problem is that the find and replace didn't recognize
the hyphens at the end of the lines.  The book is about a thousand pages.
What are my options?  Remember that my kids and husband would like to eat
once in a while.
