Hi Prat, Kurzweil must be something. Will you please explain to me exactly what it is? At first I thought it was a scanner. Is it a screen reading program? Everything I read assumes one knows what it is. Thanks.

Kurzweil has an automatic tool to deal with this type of situation. Release the book and I'll pick it up.

I imagine you would like to eat as well. <smile> The sad news is that even if your find and replace had recognized the hyphens at the end of the line and removed them, you would have to read the whole thing and put back the hyphens that were accidentally eliminated. So be glad! <smile> I will get a lot of mail about this, but what I woulld suggest is that as long as a word is not hyphenated from one page to the next, let the hyphens go.. It will lower the rating because the system will judge by parts of words, but you can put a note in the commments section explaining why, and raise the rating to excellent if you feel everything else is in order. I just got Cindy off the hook. <lol> Sue S. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kasondra payne" <Kassyp36@xxxxxxx> To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, July 27, 2005 6:36 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: the Oxford Companion to American Literature Thanks, Cindy. The problem is that the find and replace didn't recognize the hyphens at the end of the lines. The book is about a thousand pages. What are my options? Remember that my kids and husband would like to eat once in a while. Kasondra Payne -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
