Hi Paul, No problem. That is an easy mistake to make. You are hardly the first person who thought the new OCR feature in Jaws could scan entire documents and save them or something like that. However, the actual use of that feature is merely to attempt to scan buttons, menus, or anything else Jaws can't figure out without taking a snapshot of the screen and performing some OCR on it. Its a handy feature, but not for reading books. :D
