Well, don't forget that the underlying API's for finereader 7 and 8 have
changed. Kurzweil and now openbook 7 use finereader engines for OCR, version 6
or 7, I can't remember which. As you probably know, some of the options for fr
7 are either no longer available or are buried in a dialog called legacy
options in fr8. I am using fr8 as well and word 2003 and do not experience any
problems such as were described. I'll have to get one of your books and test it
out to see what happens then.

Hi Monica,
Sorry to hear about the problems with my scans. I was about to say that
nothing changed at the office 3-4 months ago, but I'm not sure that's true. I
started using version 8 of Finereader instead of version 7 several months ago,
but I'd guess it's 6 months or so. I wonder if that's what has caused the
difference. If you give me the name of a book with the problem, I'll run the
.tif file through Finereader 7 and see if I can spot any differences in the
output between the 2 versions of Finereader. Or I can find a short book at the
office and run a check myself. Will let you know what I find out. Maybe I will
have to go back to using Finereader 7...
Sorry! Carrie

Hi. I'm writing to ask for help. Lately when I take one of Carrie's
scans, I keep running into the same problem. When I get the rtf
file, it has section breaks as always. However, when I use the find
and replace feature and replace ^b with ^m it makes 2 page breaks for
every section break that used to be there, and column breaks start
showing up where there were none before I do this replacement. This
only happens with Carrie's recent scans. I tried an older scan done
by Carrie, and it worked perfectly. This didn't start happening till
about 2 or 3 months ago. Before that, this find and replace thing
worked just fine, and I validated 30 or 40 of Carrie's books. Does
anyone know what I'm dealing with and what I can do to fix it? I
haven't applied any updates to Office XP. Am I doing something wrong
and just don't know it? Once I change the section breaks to page
breaks, sometimes the page number and header will have a page break
above it and then right below it so that a book of 500 pages ends up
being over 900 pages with these breaks. I am seriously stumped. Can
any of you help?
