Thanks for the offer, David. I have worked around the problem and am wondering if you still want the transcription copy. If so, can you receive .bmd files or should I save the file in some other format before sending?

Yes it would be useful, the .BMD file as it is is fine (I don't need the index page image file because I can download that myself from the freebmd site). The problem is (from BMDVerify's point of view) there are a large number of different styles and layouts of the images that we transcribe from - one column, two column and three columns per page, hand-written, printed and typed, scanned one page at a time or two pages at a time or half a page at a time or a third of a page at a time, transcribed one page into one .BMD file or several pages into one .BMD file and these all affect how the transcription lines up with the image. I try and keep ahead of the game but don't always succeed, so if someone is having trouble using BMDVerify with a particular transcription, its worth checking first that they are using the latest version of BMDVerify (currently 2.1.13) and if there is still a problem, get in touch with me.
