I think that is right. At least that is what I thought when I worked on the
book I mentioned. When I would use the next page command in Word it would
go to the next section, so I figure that the Bookshare thing (so technical,
I know) that looks at the file will perhaps also put too many page break
marks.
I could not think of a global way to do it without losing the ones needed to
keep. If somone can think of a way, I'd try it. Otherwise it is a bit of a
laborious task.

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?
