Hi, Maureen, welcome to the list. I proofread books occasionally for
Bookshare and have learned how to strip headers from pages. Are you using a
screen reader or can you see? I use Jaws when I proofread along with a
BrailleNote mPower as a Braille display. All I can tell you is what I
learned to do. Write back and I'll tell you as well as I can what I do.
Welcome to the list and I hope you have a great time. You are very
appreciated. Regards, Kim Friedman. P.S.: To write me off list, I'm at
kimfri11@xxxxxxxxxxxx K.

Hello,
I'm scanning a book for the first time for bookshare. I checked the lists of
what is being scanned and on the wish list. When I tried to open the
attachment of publishers and other sources my computer would not respond.
Is there something else I need to do to let someone know what book I'm
scanning or does the book just go into the system when I submit it?
Also I read the scanning mannual but was unclear as to whether I needed to
take off headers or whether the tool strips them when I submit the book,
thank you.
Maureen
