Donna, Under FRPro's Scanning options, which interface are you using? It will typically ask you to use iether the original application (i.e., the scanner's interface) or the Fine Reader interface. What scanner are you using? with my trial version, I have not encountered that particular problem. In fact, a book scanned with a gray-scale and 400 DPI setting scans faster with the same scanner than it does with either K1000 or Openbook.

I currently own FR Professional version 7.0, but am testing version 8.0 on a trial basis. I've started scanning a book tonight, and can't figure out why it is scanning so incredibly slowly. I think I'm using the same settings I use with FR7, but the lapse between pages is interminable, and I don't even have the box checked to pause between pages! Usually, I check this box and tell it to pause for 5 seconds. Any ideas? The resulting scan is good except for treating the headings like columns and ending it with a section break continuous. The text of the book is beautiful, though. Of course, I get beautiful text with FR7 without the other problems, so if this doesn't get better soon, I will be saving myself the cost of the upgrade. I'm very interested to hear what others are experiencing. Peace and Hope, Donna
