Hi,

I have found that if I scan with either of the
scansoft scanners and then convert it to rtf that the spaces in words appear, but if I scan with Fine Reader or the old RTK I do not get the spaces when converting to rtf. Steve from Kurzweil said he was able to duplicate it there and sent me a new Kurzweil.exe file which seems to have taken care of it. I presume the fix will be in the next version when it comes out

I have confirmed that .rtf files in Kurzweil do seem to have this issue of extraneous spaces.

I am a bit surprised that someone at Kurzweil does not scan in something, save as rtf and find out some of these glaring issues before releasing their software.

I'd talk to Kurzweil tech support about it. We might all be having the problem and we just don't know because we don't look at the final RTF copy of the book before upload. I'd sure like to know what causes it and if there is a way to prevent the introduction of extrainious spaces.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] I found the culprit that was dividing words,

Hi Gang,

Thanks to all of you who were trying to help me eliminate the spaces
in so many words of a scanned book.  I finally found the problem, or
should I say cause, but now I still don't know what to do to cure
it.  I found that the spaces get put in the words when I save the
book in rtf form.  While in kes the spaces aren't there.  I like to
read it originally in .kes so I can go back to where I left off
before.  Anybody have any thoughts and has anybody else had that
problem?  I just noticed it because I am starting to use rank
spelling.  Maybe all the books I've sent in before had that problem
and I didn't know it.
What do I do now?
Thanks.
