Hi Roger,

Yep, that's the correct thing to do!

Happy scanning!

That reminds me of an issue that I am facing right now that is similar. 
I am currently slowly scanning a book in which the chapters are designated
by a very large graphic number. These numbers are not scanning at all
except, sometimes, as a few junk characters and most often not even as junk
characters. I cannot even tell where one chapter ends and another one begins
except for the fact that sometimes the last page of the preceding chapter is
shorter than most pages and sometimes I can surmise that a chapter has ended
when the scene abruptly changes. 
What I plan to do is, when I finish the book, get some sighted help to go
through the book and find the pages on which each chapter begins and insert
CHAPTER 1, CHAPTER 2 and so forth. Is this the correct thing to do?
