Jon,<br><br><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">>The retention of styles is
perhaps the most important improvement in terms of our DAISY production.
However, the new version is not all improvements. I have some concerns
with the
way the new ADART II layout system is treating page numbers as header or
footer
text boxes. Another strange problem is that the editor seems to ignore
re-ordered areas in formatted text mode now. (making it more difficult
to move
page numbers, and retain styles at the same time.)<<br><br>So how do you get around the re-ordering issue? We've just now upgraded to 10 and have already run into this problem. <br><br>Heidi<br><br></span><br><br clear="all">

FineReader 10 this week and I have been doing some testing with it. The user
interface is largely unchanged. </span></p>

operation, Additional Image enhancements, (reduce motion blur, reduce ISO
noise, and perspective adjustment) Using the scroll-wheel to move between
images, (no need to ALT+Arrow Key any longer) and greatly improved style
retention.</span></p>
