Kay,
I don't have a book port to try this, but one of my coworkers does some scanning for us with her book port. The Copyright and/or the TradeMark symbol sometimes translates as "dots 16 256" or ch sign followed by a period. The only way I know to get this right is to check your print document for clarification. If these symbols are bullets or some other graphical symbol, then you can follow the instructions that were sent for replacing them with the two dashes. Remember that not all little symbols are bullets.

Hi, I have not had time to send a file but let me give you an example. In the Bookport users manual, on the first page it says Bookport and then right after that word is a graphic, probably the Bookport logo. In this same document, there are other Logo type graphics used for Microsoft and other trade marks. Instead of skipping these that is where the strange symbols appear. It does not do this in older versions of the Software.

Hi Kay,
This probably means that Duxbury has encountered a symbol it doesn't know how to deal with such as bullets in an MSWord document. You'll want to figure out what that symbol is and how to deal with it. For example, with bullets, I replace all bullets in MSWord documents with a double dash.
