Hi Sue, That's a good question. As I remember it Bookshare sees the
section-breaks the same as a page-break - so will there be too many
page-breaks? Interesting. Maybe Geraldor one of the other techno guys will
know. Tom

A long time ago, I remember Donna wrote a post saying she does not change
section breaks to page breaks when she validates in Word. So my question is,
would it be okay to just leave them as section breaks? The pages are numbered.

Hi Carrie, Actually there are three types of section-breaks that Word
recognizes . but haven't seen the third type show up any where yet. Tom

I was planning on telling the whole list what I found. Sure wish Word
could distinguish between the 2 types of section breaks. That would make life
much easier!

Hi Carrie, Would you mind alerting me also of your results? I've been
encountering trouble with Fine-Reader 8 also. I don't know if it's me but I've
been getting too much junk. Went back to omni-page 15 and almost perfect scans,
even though much slower. Thanks Tom

Hi Monica,
Sorry to hear about the problems with my scans. I was about to say
that nothing changed at the office 3-4 months ago, but I'm not sure that's
true. I started using version 8 of Finereader instead of version 7 several
months ago, but I'd guess it's 6 months or so. I wonder if that's what has
caused the difference. If you give me the name of a book with the problem,
I'll run the .tif file through Finereader 7 and see if I can spot any
differences in the output between the 2 versions of Finereader. Or I can find
a short book at the office and run a check myself. Will let you know what I
find out. Maybe I will have to go back to using Finereader 7...
Sorry! Carrie

Hi. I'm writing to ask for help. Lately when I take one of Carrie's
scans, I keep running into the same problem. When I get the rtf
file, it has section breaks as always. However, when I use the find
and replace feature and replace ^b with ^m it makes 2 page breaks for
every section break that used to be there, and column breaks start
showing up where there were none before I do this replacement. This
only happens with Carrie's recent scans. I tried an older scan done
by Carrie, and it worked perfectly. This didn't start happening till
about 2 or 3 months ago. Before that, this find and replace thing
worked just fine, and I validated 30 or 40 of Carrie's books. Does
anyone know what I'm dealing with and what I can do to fix it? I
haven't applied any updates to Office XP. Am I doing something wrong
and just don't know it? Once I change the section breaks to page
breaks, sometimes the page number and header will have a page break
above it and then right below it so that a book of 500 pages ends up
being over 900 pages with these breaks. I am seriously stumped. Can
any of you help?
