Sandy, I'm not sure these changes will make any difference, but
change page orientation to automatic
change image format to pcx
and change recognize columns to yes.
Scan a few pages;
save them in .ark first and then save to .rtf
And see if it makes any difference.
I never scan in two-page mode as some weird errors occur. Two-page mode should be faster, but I had to make so many corrections that I spent more time and also got very frustrated.

Hi Lori,
I meant to send you my settings before, so thanks for asking me this question. Below are my Scanning Settings: 

Scanning Mode:  Scan and Read
Scanning Contrast:  Automatic Contrast
Page Orientation:  Sideways
Scanning Resolution:  400 dots per inch
Scan Text Using:  Omnipage
Text Type:  Normal
Recognition Language:  American English
Secondary Language:  American English
Image Type:  TIF uncompressed
Left Boundary:  0
Right Boundary:  0
Top Boundary:  0
Bottom Boundary:  0
Recognize Columns:  No
Color Scanning: No
Keep Exact View:  No
Two-Page Mode:  Yes
Deskew:  Yes
Despeckle:  No
White on Black:  No
Language Analyst:  No
Discard Blank Pages:  No
Automatically Apply OCR Correction:  Yes
Indicate Emphasis Text:  No
Uncertain Text:  No
Uncertain Text Marker:  None
Batch Delay:  0
Image Location: (filename)

I have several choices of Omnipage, but am using just plain Omnipage.
Last week I was scanning a book just for me, and I noted that, in Edit Mode, each line is double-spaced. Is this a setting somewhere in OpenBook that I need to change--and would changing it take away the extraneous paragraph marks? I didn't knowingly set it up to be double-spaced. It isn't, in Word. But it has the paragraph marks after each line which certainly could trigger the insertion of paragraph marks.
Please let me know if other settings would be useful for us to look at. I know my font is Times New Roman 12. 

Thanks so much for your help.  Any suggestions are appreciated!

Sandy, I know we have been in contact about your problem, but I don't recall which recognition engine you are using. I use omnipage. While I do still sometimes have problems with each line ending with a paragraph mark, I have never experienced your problem of no paragraph marks. Also, this is obscure, but which image format are you using to save the images?

Hi Debby,
I've tried the columns both ways and it does different things with "Recognize Columns" on than with it off, but both are annoying. With "Recognize Columns" on it puts a paragraph mark at the end of each line. With it off, the document is just one long, unsegmented document. Really bad!
Right now I'm working with Lissi, who checks for formatting as she proofs, and that's letting me scan quite a few books, though it's more work for me and for her, I fear! FS seems to think it's not an OpenBook problem--though I've found over the years that's their first, best answer. "Something else is doing it!" 

Thanks for the idea, and if you have more--please pass them along!

Hi Sandi!
Do you have your OpenBook settings set to recognize columns? I have it set that way for straight text, and don't have that problem with OpenBook 7. I have version 9, but I'm waiting until I get all the parts and build a new computer before I install it.

Hi Mary,
Yesterday or the day before, you offered Tim a list of AutoCorrect features to be dealt with in Word on a new computer to make scanning more accurate.
Would you please share that list with me? As you know, I have had issues with RTF conversion either stripping the paragraph marks I want or putting a paragraph mark at the end of each line. Perhaps if I had the entire list from you, I could locate the one causing the issues. Freedom Scientific told me this is a Word issue. I don't know that they are right, but I've worked with my OpenBook settings in ways suggested by fellow scanners, and have not yet conquered the beast! 

Thanks much.
Sandi
