        Hello Charles, we were saying ! 

 CS> That's probably the best way if he's going to do it by himself.  With
 CS> older bound books like his, the less you turn the pages and handle
 CS> them, the longer it will last.

        I have used that scanner in this "book-reading" way and it
  turned out quite nice. No need to open up the pages wide, it will
  reach to the comb with the page opened less than 90ø. This would
  save Jay's book. But as I said to him...tedious. I faced the same
  kind of work doing our G‚n‚alogie. I did it piecemeal, took 4 years.
  Do not let Jay read this ! But I typed it all in, no scan nor OCR. I
  used Word from Office 2000 for it all then got it to .pdf and locked
  it. 227 pages. How many Jay has to do again ?

     
       Again in Kamouraska !
  Have a great day !
