Hi,
I just uploaded the book, "The Gang That Wouldn't Write Straight: Wolfe,
Didion, Thompson and the New Journalism Revolution." I spell checked it
and
think I got most of the OCR errors out but some words seem to have been
concatenated that should be separated and a number of apostrophes are
followed by an "s" when they probably should not be (as in Chris's versus
Chris').
A week or so ago, I got an email that says that to get rid of section
breaks
in Word, I should search for ^b and replace with an empty field. The
book,
as I arrowed through claimed that their was a section and page break at
every place where the actual book had a hard page. By removing the
section
breaks, though, Word also removed the page breaks and I ended up with an
approximately 335 page book becoming a 17 page book with text wrapped in
all
sorts of weird ways that made it entirely unreadable. I then went onto
the
next suggestion, replace all ^b section breaks with ^m page breaks. This
resulted in exactly the same thing.
Jim Homme and I have been pounding our heads against the page break
problem
in the Drupal book I scanned over a month ago and now, in a far less
difficult book, I still cannot manage to get beyond the page break
problem.
Am I just a moron who is missing something obvious or is this whole scan
and
validate task a whole lot more complicated than I had ever guessed?
Thanks,
cdh
