[Blindtlk] storage and retrieval in open book

[Nikki]

    Well, I turned the printer on, plugged it into the USB port, and opened 
OB to scan again, the same way as last night, BUT...

I get the dialog box "acquisition source" again.
I tab down once, it says "no scanner."
I arrow down to get the two choices again, but my computer "dings" and says 
"no scanner" every time I push the down arrow key.
So, IDK what the deal is and it's frustrating me!

    Ok.

I'm having trouble understanding what each choice means in the save dialog
box.
I managed to find out that my first attempt at saving doesn't exist and open
book can't open my second attempt.

hi,

it is a bit tricky at first.
files are saved in the openbook library folder structure and not your 'my
documents' without modifying the settings or manually navigating to 'my
docs' when you save a file.
i'm not completely sure what is lost but i often save a scan as a word .doc
format and it seems fine.
