yeah the consensus has gnawed my arm for me, thank ya'lls! Just joking - I get it now. I'll have the files resaved and beat up the copy center on Monday. It's all good :) thanks a billion!!! - Jeanette
Hi Jeannette and list:
Get them to save it to something like text, which then can easily be transferred onto the bookport. That also gets us back around to what I thought the subject of this list was?
Cheers, Dave

Okay so I'm a dork. I know it. But I never use kurzweil. I don't own the software myself because I'm poor and cheap, and usually I just grab stuff from bookshare. However, I got a bunch of books scanned in the copy center where I work (a small college) and they handed me a cd for each scanned book. When I plug it into my laptop, it comes up as a .kes software extension. I can't open that with anything and it won't transfer to bookport. I don't know if they used the wrong scanning software (I'm one of the first blindies to request services in a few eons I'm told) and I know nothing about kurzweil to save my own ass.
I've read the manual a few times and I'm sure I'm missing something because everyone I know loves loves loves kurzweil. Does anyone have any idea what I should do, save google? If I google one more thing today I might have to gnaw on my arm.
I'm all bookported out! - Jeanette
