It has been my experience that when preparing scanned files for Duxbury, I have
to edit word by word because scanned docs are full of weird spacing problems.

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.
