Donna Smith once wrote a post and said she uses Word, but does not change
section breaks to page breaks.  Said she goes to the end of the book and
hits ctrl-pgup and that always tells her the page number.  Are we now
supposed to change section breaks to page breaks if we use Word??

It added 150 page breaks to your book?  Wow.  I also use MS Word to convert
the section breaks to hard page breaks, but I delete column breaks.  Do you
delete column breaks?  I've never seen Finereader add section breaks, but
anything is possible when computers are involved (I wrote software for 25
years before I retired so I'm allowed to say things like that :-))

Have you tried Finereader 7?  Does it also add page breaks to your books?

      Hi Carrie, I've tried 8 and found too many section breaks in my
result.  Does this make sence to you?  I use M S Office Word too convert the
sec tion breaks to hard page breaks.  On the last book I tried it on I ended
up with 650 pages in a 500 page book,  Too much time involved removing that
mess.  The reason I'm asking is that I'm trying to up my productivity.
Thanks Tom

    It's ABBYY Finereader.  We have versions 7 and 8 on 2 (of the 4)
computers in Marissa's office and I prefer version 7.  The quality is
comparable but 7 seems a lot faster in reading and in saving the pages.

    My 2 cents, Carrie

        Hi Liz,

        Thanks for your offer, but I'd rather scan Cell in-house, if you
don't mind.  With the high-speed scanner, it only takes a few minutes to
scan it, and in general, the scans are pretty clean.  So feel free to take
the book back to the library.

        Hope you're having a good week!  Carrie

          Hi C arrie:

          I was just wondering if you wanted me to rescan Cell by Stephen
King?  A copy is already up on Bookshare, but I don't think it has page
breaks.  If you want me to rescan, let me know, or if not, I'll take the
book back to the library.

          Thanks, and take care,

          L iz
