Usually when I get a rejection of that command it is because I had CAPS lock or
shift lock. That is always my first place to check. also, the ABBYY
FineReader
Pro scan engine places section breaks (^b) where there are page breaks, but I
don't think that's a problem in kurzweil, but someone can correct me if I am
wrong. I am sighted, so using different software for scanning.
