OK, this is strange. I started a spell check on this book and every
hyphen is followed by a tab character. This does not look fun.

I have a medical spell checker on my computer. My job is in the medical
field and so I figured I'd be familiar with the terminology and also I
have the ability to spell check, K1000 does not have a medical spell
checker and that is annoying for me since all the stuff I have scanned
in the past several months is definitely loaded with medical terms.

What about a spell check? If there are a lot of medical terms, that may
not
help. If you take the .rtf file into Kurzweil and perform a ranked
spelling,
maybe that'll help, if you're not going to read the whole thing. That'll
help give you a quicker glimpse of whether anything really should be
fixed
or not. As far as hyphens go, unless they're compound words that are
supposed to be hyphenated, the common consensus, I believe, is to put
them
together, but with that large of a book, there's little wonder that you
wouldn't want to read the whole thing! Take care.

Yeah, I hate house work.
Question, I am validating a larger project than I'd planned, Physical
Examination for Health Assessment. All the copyright info is most
definitely present.
I converted this doc file to RTF immediately.
My question is this, there are a lot of hyphenated words, and the
hyphens appear to be properly placed, my guess they were done by the
publisher, or else the submitter (no name shown) did a good job, I
should leave these alone? It would read better aloud without them, but,
this is about a 900 page document, I am not really inclined to remove
them all.
Any opinions? This book had a fair rating, although in the first few
pages, I have not found anything other than those hyphens that could be
questionable.

Mike,
That is an excellent analogy. I laughed, thinking of
my house. I spend much more time cleaning up books for
bookshare than I do on my house. smiling
embarrassedly.
