Good morning, George!
Formulae seem to be fine, on the whole. Omnipage has problems with
fractions - it keeps thinking they're two separate lines of numbers, but
that's easy to fix. I've been going through the chapter and making sure that
anything mathematical is converted into math. I did a whole bunch of little
tests back-and-forth between SN and Duxbury to make sure I had that part
right. The conversion to braille is really good. The weirdness is just with
the formatting.
If I have SN show the "invisibles" from the View menu, there's a
backwards P (Which is usually a new paragraph mark, in print) at the end of
every line. Is this because it was saved as a formatted text file in
Omnipage? But if I save it as a plain text file, I lose ALL the formatting,
and I really don't like the thought of dealing with a 100-page paragraph!
My husband suggested having Omnipage save it as a Word file, and going
into SN from there, but Word & Duxbury & I don't get along well. Anything
going through Word to Dux drops random sentences (1 or 2 every print page),
and a lot of it has to be re-typed in.
I've been through program manuals until I'm ready to scream, and can't
figure out what's happening. I really hope there's an easy way to fix this..
(thank you!!!)
Kaari

Hi Kaari,
You say you are scanning using Omnipage, prior to opening in Scientific
Notebook.
The first question I'd ask is whether or not the formulae are being
correctly converted? Basically and visually, normal text should appear in
black, and formulae should appear in red. This is not simply a case of
changing the font color, but applying a Text or Formulae style to the
material in question.
George.
