Hi Cheryl, you keep mentioning readers, and is this an abbreviation for red iris, or what? On Wed, 23 Sep 2009 17:53:10 -0500, Cheryl Homiak wrote: I'm scanning a book. With my version of readers I think I can only do 50 pages at a time anyway and I had done that, first scanning with vuescan doing multiple pages which opened readers when I did cmd-g and then Text Edit opened after I did cmd-r to recognize. What I want to warn people about is that once Text Edit opens it doesn't appear to add all the pages that readers continues to recognize and you could think you have your whole document in text edit and be sadly mistaken. I checked at the bottom of my text edit file and knew this couldn't be all so the only thing I knew to do was do cmd-r in readers again after saving hat text edit was showing--remember also that you must do cmd- shift-s and pick a place to save or your file will end up in a temporary folder and be gone when you quit text edit. at any rate, when I did cmd-r again in readers again, this time all the pages did make it into text edit and I then saved this document very carefully. I think readers had actually recognized everything the first time but ongoing pages were not added to text edit the second time, probably because recognition had already actually been done, everything did go to text edit. Maybe there's an easier way to do this but I thought I should warn people. there are few things more upsetting than scanning a bunch of pages and then having to do most of them all of them over again!!! I'm just glad I checked. -- Cheryl "Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer."
