JP>        Hello Charles, we were saying ! 

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

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

     
600+ I said 900 earlier - goofed again as usual. No way do I want to
type all this in!

Jay
