That's one of the things I hate about Microsoft Word. Back in the days of Word Perfect, it had a reveal codes function that would let you see and modify ALL formatting codes (hm, I wonder if I can go back to Word Perfect). *sigh*

Finally got a chance to check this out, and the column breaks in that book were not a ^n . So I now have two weird codes that were in it, the section breaks that weren't found by the section break codes, and the column breaks, which weren't standard word column breaks. I did get all the formatting fixed another way, but I'd sure love to know what all those codes really were.

What I think Judy has, and what I do, is scan two pages in one page mode. I started doing this because if I scan in two page mode and a page is very short, like the last page of a chapter, Omnipage tends to want to just skip that page for some reason. So I started scanning two pages in one page mode, and then Omnipage puts this nifty little column break in instead of a page break. This sounds to me like what Judy is encountering. If it is, then it should be easily replaced by replacing all ^n (a word column break) with the ^p^m^p (space page break space). If not then she's got a different kind of animal.
