Hi William,
Yes I have found the same as you. Sometimes, touching different parts of the
screen and trying to find the start date etc manually helps sort things out.
But I agree it is a bug and will report it to apple myself.

Why don't some of the formats into which ABBYY can scan into show as a choice
in the Window when I'm exporting a scanned document? I've been through these
choices many times and I can't find .txt for instance, nor have I found .csv.
Thank you

Hallo Kawal,
there is a new firmware 4.93 out for the Focus 40 blue. With version 4.57
bluetooth connection to the latest Mac OS X does not work. I do have the same
problem, here. Someone I know, who already uses the new firmware, however, has
no issues with the connection. So, we need it,
OK. If I were to get the firmware, as I will, would I have to use windows to
download it and install as I don't have windows on my I Mac at the moment. If
not, how could I dowdload it and install?
Thanks.
Kawal.
