Hello Everyone!
Well, after a rather weird scanning mess, which I will relate in a
minute, in case my experience helps anyone, I have just submitted "Tour Of
Danger," By Carolyn Keene. This is the twelfth in the Nancy Drew & Hardy
Boys SuperMystery series. This time the teens are in Japan to solve the
case. It is in rtf format, spell check done, headers removed (I remembered
this time, thanks to Gwen reminding me) and all pages and copyright info
present.
Now, for my scanning mess. I must first say that I am incredibly
fortunate to live with a man who is a computer brainiac. Without him,
well, I'd not have either a computer, or a usable copy of this
book. Anyway, beware of your scanners with the buttons on the front for
one touch scanning! We thought they were disabled, but somehow they became
enabled, and though my KES file looked fine, when I converted this book to
RTF there were about 150 extra pages which I couldn't find in
Kurzweil. Let me tell you, was I confused. Jon fixed the book with Word
by converting it to text first, then putting it back to rtf. I think
that's what he did. Long story short, beware, of accidentally pressing the
buttons on your scanners. They won't make any sound to let you know that
they've been pressed, and they will insert zillions of blank pages into
your document that you can't even see are there when looking at the file as
a KES file.
Okay, sorry for the huge ramble. I hope someone else can avoid
doing this to their books. I think I still have two books to refix because
of that problem. Here now is the info about the just submitted book
written on the back cover.
Peace,
Mayrie
