I am pretty sure, just from context, that it is a comma, but I forgot to
mention that the same thing happens to hyphens with about the same frequency.

Hi Roger,
Are you sure that the missing character isn't an m-dash or long dash and
not a comma? I have seen this happen in a lot of books I have proofed, and
also
occasionally with a book I am scanning.
Sorry I don't know how to prevent this from happening.

As I scan, it is very frequent that, when there is a comma, the comma is
eliminated and the space following it too. This means that the two words that
should be seperated by a comma become one long word without a space. It is
very tedious to catch and repair all of these. It does not happen every time
a comma comes along, but it happens very frequently, often several times
per page. After I finish scanning I can catch a lot I missed with a spell
check,
but that is time consuming and tedious too, and I am still not sure I catch
all of them. Is there any way of preventing this in the first place? I am
using
Open Book 6.0.
