Hi Kitty:

I like to submit a use for your scanner that you may not be aware.  I have had
an ol' logitek hand scanner for years.  When I am following data in a book
that
requires frequent reference to the index and then back to the page number,
etc;
I scan the index, either all or just the pages I am using and copy it into
WP6.0.  By copying the whole index page at a time and having it in my wp
then I
don't have to refer back to the index again.  I then refer to the page
indicated
by the "index", scan the material into the wp, delete what I don't want and I
have all my material along with a referenced source.

Hope this helps.

Paul
