Diane >Greetings, > >We recently completed an oral history project that includes mini DV >tapes, a DVD, written and digital transcripts, and digital images. This >is the first time we have done oral histories in about 15 years. My >question is about the digital transcript. In what format should I save >the digital transcript? Text, word, PDF? The digital version is burned >on to the DVD as a Word document. I had trouble opening it with Word >and ended up opening it with WordPad. Is it best to keep the text in >the most basic format? > > > >Thanks! > >Melissa > > > >Melissa Johnson > >Curator of Interactive Media > >History San Jose > > > >_______________________________________________ >You are currently subscribed to mcn-l, the listserv of the Museum >Computer Network (http://www.mcn.edu) > >To post to this list, send messages to: mcn-l at mcn.edu > >To unsubscribe or change mcn-l delivery options visit: >http://toronto.mediatrope.com/mailman/listinfo/mcn-l -- Diane M.
