Chris, please tell your wife that in my opinion, it is best to draw zones around the text you want Omnipage to process instead of letting the program decide for itself. You get a much, much cleaner scan that way because as you have discovered, Omnipage thinks borders might be a number 1, a letter l or the letter I or some other thing. And you can draw exclude zones too so it won't try to process graphics that you don't want it to do. Yes it takes longer to do this manually but as you've discovered, it takes time to go through and clean up the mess too. In using Omnipage for a long time now, I've found this the best way to use Omnipage.
