Flor From: net bat i don't know if this will work. but in the views pull down there is a option for 2 page view. Net bat From: Axel Krueger Can you use an OCR in a virtual print mode? You can choose single column Axelbefore you save the file. From: Drew Hunthausen Ryan, Is this a paper for a school, and do you have any DSS resources on campus that could help you with this. I'm only asking because when I was in college, I graduated last year, I had this same problem and had the DSS staff help me out. I had a number of text resources that needed to be translated so I could read them and I knew it would take hours and hours to translate them myself. Just a suggestion. Drew From: Charles Coe Hi, You might want to try FS Open Book 9 if you have a scanner. Charles From: Kevin Hourigan Hi. Isn't the virtual cursor supposed to deal with that. Kevin Take care.

Please help if you know how to get them into one column so jaws will read them properly. I am in the middle of writing a research paper and need to read this pdf and reference it. Thanks for any help you can provide.
