[bcab] Re: scanned pages displayed in vertical lines

Roger,
In your experience, is Omnipage pro superior to ABBYY?

Hi John,
 
I have experienced similar and started using omni page pro instead -
this seems to have resolved the issue.

Dear list friends,
Sometimes scanned pages of printed books appear on the screen as a
single vertical line of text. Jfw 10 reads the text normally, but when I
press the up arrow, instead of a line I get a single letter. Moreover,
JfW tells me there are new pages in rapid succession, so that there may
be forty of these odd pages for a single page of printed text.
I have tried to change this using the page set up, but this does not
seem to work. My family tell me that the little thumb prints of the
scanned pages as they appear on the screen appear normal, so the problem
must lie in the OCR stage, or in the way Word displays the results.
 I am using Oprtic Book 3600 with ABBYY version 8 pro with office xp
pro.
Can anyone suggest the reason for this, and how I can prevent it?
John
