OpenBook recognizes page numbers just as well as K-1000. That's because
they both use the same OCR packages to do the recognition. What it doesn't
do is allow you to renumber the page numbers it assigns so that it's
numbering agrees with the page numbers in the headers so you can easily
determine if pages are missing.

I am sorry to hear about page numbers not being so big a part of some of
the other software packages used for scanning. Thank you for letting me
know. I had no idea they were that deficient in this regard.
