Scott, 
I just work for one student but must prepare several items a day. I scan onto 
Kurzweil, copy and paste into Duxbury and do my proofreading there. It is much 
more user friendly for making changes. Neither program used to be but Duxbury 
has come a long way. For some reason my settings from Kurzweil won't emboss so 
rather than fight it I copy and paste.
