If you are getting scans that you cannot read, you should take it up with your syndicate co-ordinator. Sometimes co-ordinators may choose to re-allocate more challenging scans to more experienced and patient transcribers, and to support less skilled transcribers through the learning curve of coping with more difficult pages. If there are two sets of scans available for a quarter, the better set should be used. If a rescan exists for a particular page, use that. The linked scan found on FreeBMD search for an entry on your page should be the same one that you are transcribing from, in almost all cases. If the version you are using is of lower quality, that may be due to the way you download it. I recommend collecting scan images using 'save target as' to save the original image. If you first 'open' the image and then 'save as' to save it to your computer, there is a chance, possibly particularly with tif images, that you may accidentally save a degraded version with less detail, if the 'save as' settings on your image-handling software are set to less than 100%. I assume that you will have been advised of the advice in http://www.freebmd.org.uk/process.html "Syndicate co-ordinators should strongly advise transcribers not to look at the first transcription whilst completing their second transcription. " You may realise that in the 'Scan View' window in WinBMD there are a variety of facilities to try to improve the readability of scans, particularly the black-and-white ones. BMDVerify also has facilities to improve readability. If you are doing handwritten scans the advice in http://www.freebmd.org.uk/handwriting.html is valuable If you let me know off-list what the 'shoddy scans' were that gave you problems, I will be happy to comment further off-list.

I received a file today that had been pasted into an email. When copied to a text editor it appeared double spaced. I found that when I went to reply to the email that it had been sent in Rich Text (HTML). By changing the format of the 'reply' email to 'Plain Text' and then copying and pasting into the text editor, the double-spacing had disappeared and the file was in a format BMDVerify could cope with. Further experimentation revealed that if you take a double-spaced file and paste it into a blank email in 'Rich Text (HTML)' format, then change the format to 'Plain Text' you can get rid of the double-spacing. This is in Windows Mail, the Vista (downgrade) version of Outlook Express. May be worth trying if you get any more double-spaced files.

Don't know what you mean by "sensible text editor" but the right answer to my question was to do a volume search from the Search Page, which hadn't occurred to me.

Typically I have seen this happen when you screen scrape a file from something like http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/show-file.pl. Some mail systems do play around with line end conventions (which are different on Mac, Unix and Windows) so it is possible that AOL have changed something, although one would have thought it would have affected everyone. Alternatively, has your co-ordinator just moved to a Mac? If you and your coordinator have WinZIP available you could zip the file before sending it and that should stop it happening.

Just to clarify - I did not say that data files should be in C:\Program Files\WinBMD\Output. That is where they are by default but, quite the opposite, data files should be in a person's data area, possibly D:, possibly My Documents, etc. Barrie > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: 23 November 2008 14:42 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: Win BMD > > Perhaps what I've just found out will help others out there > with Vista. > > I couldn't find my files although my file path in WinBMD > showed them to be > in C:\Program Files\WinBMD\Output which as Barrie says is > where they should > be.

Dave, you say that the output files on your PC are okay so I assume that WinBMD is creating them correctly and that you believe the email system is creating the double line spacing. Have you tried emailing an output file to someone else? This may help isolate the problem to yourself or your co-ordinators' end of the email chain. You are welcome to send one or two output files directly to myself if you wish. Come to think of it, my co-ordinator has a blueyonder email address and he hasn't mentioned any problems. John.

In the last month and a half or so the WinBMD output files (.SCA) that I have been emailing to my Coordinator have been arriving double spaced - that is an extra carriage return for each line. When re-opening the files WinBMD complains about unknown line in file, four times, before opening the file. Looking in Notepad finds each line double spaced. The files on my PC are OK. The copy of the email that I sent is OK. A couple of the files uploaded to FreeBMD OK. I am on AOL and my Coordinator is on Blueyonder. This only started about a month and a half ago, it's been fine for many years before that. Any ideas? Dave.

Perhaps what I've just found out will help others out there with Vista. I couldn't find my files although my file path in WinBMD showed them to be in C:\Program Files\WinBMD\Output which as Barrie says is where they should be. When I looked in Output they weren't shown but when I use BMDVerify that's where I see they are. I've now noticed when I open the WinBMD folder I get an extra item on the Toolbar 'Compatibility Files' which when I click on it changes my list of Folders so I see the Virtual Store and in my Output Folder I can now see all the files that I couldn't see before. Hope this helps. Cath

In WinBMD go to File/Define Save Path and specify where you would like to save your files. Move your existing files to the same place (but note that the Most Recently Used list in the Files menu will not then find the files; you will have to open then from Files/Open File). In this way WinBMD is in Program Files (which is where it should be) and your data is in your data area (which is where it should be).

G'day Everyone One quick question before this subject gets put to bed is does it depend on which version of Vista you're using? I'm using Vista Ultimate & I don't have the same problem at all I've installed WinBMD to C:\Program Files\WinBMD & my transcribed files are found in the Output Folder each time exactly how they were with XP Pro If I follow the path others have mentioned C:\Users\<Your Name>\App Data\Local\Virtual Store\Program Files\WinBMD I only have WinBMD.ini in the Folder & no Output Folder or anything else at all Have I jagged a weird (but lucky) install? Hooroo Teri

I have a shortcut to the WinBMD folder on my desktop. Find the WinBMD folder (under Program Files in your case, Carol), right-click on it, then select "Send to.." In the sub-menu which appears click on "Desktop (create shortcut)". Hope this helps.
