[Terry Foxcroft]

Thanks for your input Dale and for eveyone's questions. I've got a lot out 
of this thread.

In response to your question concerning multiple page scanned letters as a 
single file. This would be a challenge I would think. I did a little trial 
on this and perhaps this could be done by placing each scan on a page in a 
Word document and add this a sound file as someone suggested for handling a 
PDF.

In regards to TIF versus JPG, assuming that you are not planning publishing 
this a book and would view the items on your computer screen a JPG is going 
to be adequate. Keep in mind that at some point in time it may be that you 
may want to show these items as a DVD or something simular on a plasma or 
LCD large screen TV. I would think that a 150-200 dpi scan saved as medium 
resolution JPG would be adequate. You may wish to try a simple test to see 
what works.

By the way in scanning letters and old documents you may wish to  scan as 
color and not black & white. Your file will be about 3 times bigger but the 
results are so much more readable.

I hope this helps a little.
