Hi Mary.

It is the K1000 that does that. When you open an RTF file, or a file in any word processing format that is converted through to RTF, the K1000 will paginate based on a printer device context. It sometimes happens that the original scanned page has more words on it then would fit if you sent it to be printed, so you end up with more page breaks than were found in the original file. Of course, the same would be true if you opened it in Word and printed the document.

This problem does not occur if you open a Daisy document, or, for that matter, a Braille document.

We're working on a fix for this in the next major release.

Hi folks,
I just released Forest Ecology, which is up on the step 1 page as a doc file. Unfortunately, when I brought it into K1000, which I had to do by first using MS Word to make it rtf, since k1k brought up a blank file when I
tried bringing in the doc file, the number of pages in the rtf file, as seen by k1k, had multiplied to 1515. I don't know if Word or k1k did it, but I have released the book, which I think was probably a good scan.
Somebody who likes editing in Word will want to have a go at this one.
Mary
