I have just returned from an unplanned week away. Over 600 emails on this
list. I am just flat-out deleting all. If there was anything important
anyone thinks I should know, please repost to me privately. Thank you!

If you have the latest version of OB, there are several OCR software
possibilities included. Fine Reader and 5 others I think. I sometimes
have to try all of them to determine which one works best on a
particular book. According to the OB documentation OmniPage three way
is supposed to actually provide the over all best, but I've found
that sometimes Fireworks works better for me. I've tried playing with
the brightness settings, but in the end I always go back to either
auto or normal. The other thing is it seems like the first 50 pages
or so are the most difficult. For some reason I often have to rescan
several just to get a certain word or phrase to scan right. after
that it goes much better. Part of that may be getting to where the
print shows better near the spine of the book.
I also open Word in OB and scan directly into Word. I do this because
otherwise I can't get away from every line having a paragraph break.
Scanning directly into Word gets around most of that.
