Thank you for this. I'll try it.
I suppose that for hyphenated words, one would replace the hyphen ^p
with nothing?

Robert and Evan,
I suspected that the line ending character was the paragraph mark (caret+p
typed as pshift+6+p).
I scan with openbook 7.02 and sometimes have this character entered through
a book and sometimes it does not show at all. I find that the problem
occurs less often with recotgnize columns turned on. I turn exact view (not
exact wording) off and still have the problem. I have used different
recognition engines with no effect.
I now follow Mayrie's recommendation when I have converted the file to .rtf
and am editing in Word.
In the find box type caret+p followed by the lower case letter a and in the
replace box space a. Be sure to tab to the more button and space then tab
to match case and check that. I shift tab back to replace all and enter.
I follow this sequence with every lower case letter in the alphabet. After
a few books, the sequences take about five minutes.
Also, Robert, in Openbook be sure to turn off despeckle, white on black and
language analyst. These features are on by default; turning them off will
greatly improve your scans.
