[Athen] Document structure in LD software

[Nettie Fischer]

Good morning back to all,

I have explored various programs to reproduce documents in their original
format and have found that Kurzweil does allow this option - unless I am
misunderstanding the question.  But, if and when you transfer the scanned
document into a Word document, it does lose its original format. Printing
from the Kurzweil document, maintains the original format.

Nettie's experience to date - <smile>
