Hi Mary, Not Bob, but yes, you can create tables in K1000. In the "Edit" menu, under the "Table" option, there is an "Insert Table" choice. A dialogue box opens and it works pretty much like Word after that. I sometimes recreate tables when I am scanning a book in Kurzweil and the table gets mangled.

Of course, I admit freely to not having read the user's manual from cover to cover, but could be wrong. I thought that Kurzweil could interpret tables when the OCR engines found them, but not that it could create them like Word can. But if I'm wrong, then, please, correct me. I'd like to know if creating tables in Kurzweil is possible the way that it is in Word. I'm not a Word fanatic either, by the way, only use it when I must, but I do use it when I must.

Obviously you aren't aware of the depths of my detestation of word or you wouldn't ask. Actually, I've thought of doing that. But I'd still like to know why it isn't working in cozy Kurzy.

It's very simple, and would save you the headache you're obviously struggling with using K1000.

I've run into a bit of a sticky wicket (as my British friends often say). I am proofing a book that has several tables in it. [[beginning of advertisement]: see the newly produced document concerning the use of tables in books in the scanning and proofing manual https://wiki.benetech.org/display/BSO/Scanning+and+Proofreading+Manual [end of advertisement]]! These tables are causing me all kinds of trouble with pagination as they span multiple pages, but I don't think they were meant to-do so in the original book. The scanner just didn't know what to do with them. I say these are tables, but they aren't really. They are strict text with two line spaces between each cell. Ok, here's my question (multiple sighs around the internet). I've converted these textuals back to tables in Kurzweil, inserting tabs between cells and a linefeed between rows. But when I invoke the convert to table command in k1000 it always comes out with a table that is one column wide and way to many rows. Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong? Heck, does anyone know what I am talking about? Thanks, Bob "A bank is a place where they lend you an umbrella in fair weather and ask for it back when it begins to rain."
