After you have completed transcribing the whole page using WinBMD you can use BMDVerify to check you have not made any mistakes. After you have followed the lining up instructions, you can move down each entry using the Return key, checking you have put in the right data. If you run WinBMD as well you can correct any mistakes there and go back to BMD Verify. It will ask you to press R to reload the file. Then you carry on checking. I find it a very useful program. Does this help?

I don't quite see any problem with what you describe. The image of the page you transcribed has to be there as that is what you are verifying your transcription against. The orange box is a copy of your transcription - once you have lined it up, by going on to Steps 3 and 4 you will be able to search for any errors in your transcription. The image of the page will scroll as you progress through your check. Then you will you need to go back to Winbmd to make and save corrections. ----- Original Message ----- From: "selwyn auty" <sabw1@tiscali.co.uk> To: <FreeBMD-Admins-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, January 21, 2006 8:15 PM Subject: BMDVerify > Hi there folks > > > > Can someone out there please help me get to grips with this confounded > programme It's driving me around the bend > > > > After I have input steps 1 and 2 of the set up I get a full screen image of > the page (.jpg) that I have been transcribing from > > laying on top of it is the little orange box with the first item I have to > check on my transcription > > > > no matter what I have tried, I cannot reduce the size of this jpg image > > if I try to move it over the .BMD page which is what it ought to be checking > it pushes the .BMD page behind > > if I try to get rid of the .jpg image (which I don't see any reason for its > being there) the little check box goes with it > > > > can someone please give me a step by step idiots guide on how to run the > check prog properly > > > > desperately > > > > Selwyn > > > > Apologies folks if this message is duplicated but I don't think it went out > first time at 2315 > > > > ==== FreeBMD-Admins Mailing List ==== > Want to help FreeBMD? > Go to http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/Signup.html to find out how. > > ============================== > Search the US Census Collection.
