Hello Dan, OmniPage allows you to scan directly into Microsoft Word. Just open Word, locate and select the option from the Tools menu and use it to scan the book a page at a time. Once you're done, select File > Save As and name the file selecting the RTF extension. Finally, log into Bookshare.org, select the Submit a Book link and follow the prompts. Hope this helps get you started in the right direction. :-) ----- Original Message ----- From: Dan Hicks To: bookshare-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, April 07, 2008 6:32 PM Subject: [bookshare-discuss] Scanning with Omnipage 16 Professional Fellow Bookshare enthusiasts, I would very much like to scan by own books, both for my own use and for submission to Bookshare. I have a fast PC with Zoomtext, a scanner, and Omnipage 16 Pro. I have done some scanning to Text files, and found them to be nearly perfect. I would like to know if there is a place to go to get step-by-steps to use Omnipage 16 Pro to scan in a way that the files are eligible for submission to Bookshare. Thanks in advance for any help you can give. Dan Hicks danjhicks@xxxxxxxxx "Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe." -- H. G. Wells
