I scanned The Hamlet into my computer and went back to validate it and did something wrong - I don't know what - when I tried to convert it from .kes to .rtf. Now when I try to open it either in Kurzweil or in Word Perfect I get a message that wordperfect cannot open it [so I deleted that one] and went back to Kurzweil but get a message it cannot find what the format is. It looks like I may have to start all over again unless I can somehow reformat the file but I don't know how. I have a tech who insists that the answers are in the tutorial and I am working on it but it seems to take for ever as it is based on the assumption that I can easily and quickly remember the instructions for using the keypad and function keys. I am used to using the mouse and sight to work on the computer so the instructions based on the assumption that I am blind are false in my case. I have too little sight and what I have is a bit strange so I cannot read much without getting a migraine but I do have enough to work with the menus and the mouse. I can learn the other way but it will take time and I would like to validate this book first if I can. It won't take long as the scan is very good but I do need to work on it magnified which I did not do with the scan. That may be what screwed up the format. That and trying to vary the font size. I don't know. If anyone can help me I would appreciate any suggestions. You can write me on list or off at agoldringtajalli@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Thanks. Amy feeling stupid in Miami
