Roger; I do not retain linebreaks for the very reason you mentioned. I'm sure each software can be different, what scan engine are you using? I use ABBYY FineReader, and with that, it would not be recommended. Hope that helps!

Just now, before I began my scanning session for today, I went through it again just to be sure that the new settings had been retained. This time as I was tabbing to the okay button I noticed a setting that I had not noticed before. It was "retain line breaks." It was not checked. I wonder if checking this would help with my problem? I did not check it because I had visions of another problem I once had returning. That problem was that there was a paragraph break after each and every line. I had a devil of a time fixing that one. I finally found out that it could be solved by changing my decolumnize setting. I don't want to bring that problem back. Do you or does anyone else know if checking the retain line breaks setting will help me with the current problem or will it just cause more problems?
