Do you suppose it has anything to do with how the file was created? For example, if I saved a file in Kurzweil1000 as a textfile and it works fine, but a textfile created from saving a webpage as a textfile is slugish. That is only example that I thought of off the top of my head, and may not necessarily be the right combination. Also, what about slugishness with a Word file? I don't have any of those on my unit or I would try it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Ring" <ring.richard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, February 21, 2006 4:14 PM Subject: [bookport] Re: Lagging pointer with the 26 update. : Greetings: : I have seen the lagging pointer for a long time, I cannot remember when : it didn't happen.
