LOL Well no, missing a few pages makes a book impossible to follow.  MIssing 
paragraph breaks just make it a little inconvenient to follow.  To each his 
own, I guess.

  It might not be rejected, but... well... I guess it's your call. But, to me, 
that's kind of like saying, it's almost perfect, just missing a few pages.

    Well, I just scanned a book using the demo of OpenBook 8.  Apparently, it 
defaults to using an OCR recognition language called "Omnipage with Two-way 
Voting."  I scanned an entire book, thinking from the text that was being read 
back to me that it was fine.  Once I started deleting headers and such, I came 
to a realization: Omnipage with two-way voting (whatever the hell that means) 
recognizes characters quite well ... but paragraph formatting is almost 
nonexistent!  I mean, hardly any paragraph breaks at all!

    Since the text is so clean, I reeeeeeeally don't want to have to rescan it 
with Finereader which I'm sure would keep the paragraph breaks.  I already 
scanned another book using Finereader with Openbook 8, but I guess somewhere my 
settings got switched back to default.

    If I submit this book, will it be rejected due to lack of paragraph breaks? 
 <Sigh>  I am a bit at a loss.
