Hi Amber, A few of us have tried it, and found some problems with it. The main problem is that it puts extra section breaks, called section breaks continuous, into the .docfiles, output and seems slighty slower than abbyy 7, which and if I remember Carrie likes also better than version 8. I do like and use version 7.

I am going to download a trial version and play around with it. Any tips would be appreciated.
