The problems of 2 columns in the table of contents is caused by
recognizing with an incorrect setting. The book should have been
recognized as having two pages per scan instead of multiple columns per
page.. I found that fixing decolumnized tables of content is usually a
dawnting manual task. Guido

How do you convert from 2 columns to 1, once the scan is done?
I think I've done it in K1000, but I can't figure it out in Word, and I
prefer to validate in Word whenever possible.
Thanks.
