Hey Patti, You have the typewritten setting on? I haven't ever seen a case where that should be on. Definitely try turning that off. The setting is meant for a type only produced in certain places not for general scanning.

I did find text on the very first page so will now try putting a blank piece of paper there to see if that makes a difference. I honestly think it shouldn't be this difficult, if ocr's aren't any better than this, --never mind, I'm just frustrated.
