Donna,
No I didn't suggest/reply to Mark yet. I wonder though if someone with a
scanner could do it. Although he did mention they converted to text off the
files they sent so it isn't really scanned per se I don't think. I might
suggest something as such though. So far what I read I do like. I don't
have any of that equipment/software/time unfortunately.
