Hi Jana,

Take a look in your My Documents\Kurzweil Educational Systems\General directory and see if the file has an extension of .kes. I vaguely remember running into this or something like it before; I think that Kurzweil renames the existing file before re-saving, adding a ~, then removes the old file after the save is complete, but the file with the ~ can rename if the save doesn't complete. Or the file with the ~ could be auto-saved; I don't really know. Anyway, if you have such a file, try renaming it so that it has an extension of just .kes. It might only be looking at the extension and not recognizing the file.

If that doesn't help you, then I'd suggest calling Kurzweil.

Hi, everyone!  I have been working with a book for months, and thanks to
assistance from a sighted friend, I was finally able to get the pages typed
that wouldn't scan well.  The pages are saved as Word files, and I've been
pasting them into my original document, replacing all of the garbled text.
I only had a few pages to go when JFW 7.1 stopped speaking.  I saved my
K1000 file and re-booted.  When I opened K1000 and attempted to open my
document, I received the following message: "An error occurred while trying
to open the file.  The document's format could not be determined."

Please tell me that I am not going to have to start over!  I've been working
with this file for months, literally.  The book in question is London
Refrain, by Brock and Bodie Thoene.  A good number of the pages are letters
written between two of the main characters.  They were written in an
italicized font, so they didn't scan very well.  Stephen, can you fix it?
Thanks!

Jana
