Thanks Philip, Your tip about using BMDVerify to obtain the line numbers is very useful. Unfortunately BMDVerify requires a transcribed file and I lost most of my old copies of transcribed files recently when my backup disc, to which they had been copied, was accidentally erased. (I know! - I'll be more careful in future!). However both Allan Raymond and Derek Lowe have now pointed out to me that by using shift and click on the file in the suspect file list, the transcribed file will appear with the required line already highlighted. Ctrl and click on the same file in the suspect file list then brings up the relevant scan for comparison. This worked very well. Fortunately, the vast majority of the suspect files were perfectly in order and did not, in fact, need any amendments so the job was made much easier and quicker.
