[blindlaw] line numbering on depositions

A scanned copy of the deposition is not going to work as well for you as 
there will be some changes due to formatting. As a paralegal I frequently 
have to summarize depositions for attorneys and I work from the actual copy 
of the transcript that has been transcribed. This should be readily 
available to you either from the attorney or the court reporter that 
transcribed the deposition. These transcripts are prepared usually as a Word 
document and are done with the lines numbered so they are easy to follow. As 
most law firms receive transcripts electronically it is surprising that you 
weren't furnished with the actual transcript.

Subject: [blindlaw] line numbering on depositions

Hi all,

I am working with depositions for the first time, but am having
trouble figuring out how to read a copy where the line numbering is
preserved so that I can cite to it correctly. The pdf copies have not
been ocr'd. I tried opening them in k1000 with moderate but unreliable
success. when I try opening them in the pdf editor, it just says it's
a blank document.

Any assistance with either how to use Kurzweil to preserve line
numbering or how to get another pdf program to recognize the file
would be greatly appreciated.  I know new versions of jaws have some
sort of OCR functionality built in; I've been looking but can't find
it. This assignment has a short turn around, otherwise I would do more
digging myself before asking on-list. Any assistance or advice would
be greatly appreciated.

Best,

Laura
