It wasn't bad. There were a few places where words were run together but not too many, and toward the end of the book there were a few minor scannos. It was interesting to read, and so I didn't mind making changes as I went, but as I said it wasn't too bad. I've seen a lot worse. I find that sometimes I have to increase the size of the text. Some of the fonts put the words so close together that I have to trust the spell-checker to tell me when there is no space or increase to 125 or even 150 so I can read without wondering. I've been volunteering for bookshare for about 3 years, and not until sometimes in the past year, maybe even the past few months, did I discover, because of what someone said, that Word has a way to enlarge the print without my having to blacken everything and actually change the font. I've learned so much about using Word through bookshare. smile Cindy --- Katie Star <kaitlyn@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > HI Cindy, > > How was the scan of that book?
