Hello Monica,

OpenBook and Kurzweil currently use the FR7 versions, partly because to my knowledge, the package they get to interface with their programs isn't available to them until a few months after the actual product release. So, FR8 was probably out for a while before they had access to putting it into the programs.

In any case Stephen at KES has said that they're still hoping for a version 11 release by the end of the year and that among the updates are the new versions of both FineReader and Scansoft.

HTH,
Jake

Hi, Tom and Gerald. Well, at least now I know one of the reasons why Openbook and K1000 aren't updating their FR engines. I do have an idea though. A bug like this is fairly significant I would think, although maybe sighted people who just scan for work reasons might not notice it. Do you know if this happens in doc format as well as rtf? I'm wondering if maybe Word would see the section breaks differently if documents were converted into Word format. I do know that doc files don't save in the same way as rtf and that the file format for Word XP and Word 2003 save things more effectiently than rtf. Have either of you tried saving a book as a doc file and opening that to see if it's different? I don't own FineReader, so I can't test this myself.
