I have the windows set up so that the audio files start with the text in front of me. I must ignore the page references because each lesson-section starts a new series of pages. In Chapter One the text and audio match, in the second or third lesson, only the titles have audio and text that matches! Then they have quite different formats. I have not audited it completely, as it would take hours, but who ever on your staff is familiar with the layout and audio will know what I'm talking about. The punch line is that they do not match and are, therefore, of no use to beginners who must have identical formats. Now the text is excellent, but the audio requires literal translations with text that a student can match with the sounds. Good luck with your staff, Best regards, Scott --- Tim Xie wrote: > It's fixed. Try it again. > > T.
