Hello to those of you who are playing around with FineReader. I currently own FR Professional version 7.0, but am testing version 8.0 on a trial basis. I've started scanning a book tonight, and can't figure out why it is scanning so incredibly slowly. I think I'm using the same settings I use with FR7, but the lapse between pages is interminable, and I don't even have the box checked to pause between pages! Usually, I check this box and tell it to pause for 5 seconds. Any ideas? The resulting scan is good except for treating the headings like columns and ending it with a section break continuous. The text of the book is beautiful, though. Of course, I get beautiful text with FR7 without the other problems, so if this doesn't get better soon, I will be saving myself the cost of the upgrade. I'm very interested to hear what others are experiencing. Peace and Hope, Donna
