Vee: Thank you for all the info, and the names of the people to contact. I do have all the diaries on CD, but on the 1857 diary, I was new to scanning, and I had the resolution pretty high, and the images took up a lot of disk space, in fact, I had to use 3 CD's. Since then, I've learned to lower the resolution when scanning. I also have the trascripts of each diary on each CD as well in a separate folder on my hard drive. I used Word 11 to type out the transcripts, but on each diary, I used a different typeface or font style. I don't know if that would make a difference or not. I found I like to experiment with different fonts. At any rate, you gave me much to go on. Thanks, Vee! Kim Kim
