Sandy and Valerie,
I'm very puzzled by this problem with paragraph marks disappearing in the
conversion from openbook format .ark to .rtf format.
I have openbook 7.02 and checked under scanning settings; both "keep exact
view" and "scan with page layout elements" are unchecked.
When I scan, my scans always have a blank line between paragraphs, and after
converted to .rtf, the file shows a paragraph mark at the end of the paragraph
and a paragraph mark for the following blank line. This format is true whether
I save the document using save as and choosing .rtf from the combo box or
whether I launch the document in word.
When I scan, I use omnipage as my recognition engine.
Also, just in case you don't know, you should uncheck despeckle, white on black
and language analyst. Unchecking these items causes a better scan.
I hope that some of these observations might be helpful, but I'm not sure they
will.
Lori C.

Sandi has her first scan in the collection! Woohoo! Sandi did a fine job on
her first scan, except for the software wreaking havoc on paragraphs, something
we hope to figure out sooner than later. I will search out a couple more easy
scans for her to try adjusting settings on, but I am tickled with her
enthusiasm and patience in troubleshooting.
The two books Sandi started with were books Nichole brought home from ALA,
and Chance and the Butterfly is a well written youth story about a third grade
boy in foster care and how we all need something to call our own, even if it is
not really "ours". I am working on the paragraph issue for "Somebody's Girl",
its sequel, and Nichole is excited to read both!
Thanks for your patience and hard work, Sandi!
Valerie
