If you look for " " (quote marks, space, quote marks), do your paragraphs join together like that? You can determin those by context. There will also be times when they're just words in quotations, so it's a context check. I don't know any other way to check. ----- Original Message ----- From: Roger Loran Bailey To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, October 25, 2013 10:11 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: This is terrible! # I have saved this to my documents and will probably try your advice tomorrow just before my next scanning session.

When I upgraded to Openbook 9 with Windows 7, I had a similar problem. Freedom Scientific advised me to do the following: While in the OpenBook(tm) scanning and reading software 1. Pull up the settings menu "alt+g" 2. Arrow down to work flow settings and hit enter 3. Tab over to work flow modify... button and hit enter 4. Perform the control+tab command to get to the process page 5. You should be positioned on: recognition, use default recognition. If this item is checked here, press the spacebar to uncheck this item 6. Tab to: recognition stradegy 7. Use your arrow keys to select: most accurate and hit enter 8. Tab to okay and hit enter Changing to "most accurate" has helped quite a bit. I had scanned one book which still had formatting problems, but several I have scanned did have the paragraphs formatted properly.

I am very careful with my submissions. I scan them two pages at a time and if the margins are too tight I will scan them one page at a time. Before I go on to the next two pages I read over the pages I have just scanned correcting any scannos or other problems I come across and then I run a spell check on the same two pages. I do leave a lot to the proofreader because I do not have the proper software to do some of the proofreading chores, but I am fairly confident that when the proofreader gets my submission it will be a pretty easy proofing job. This means that I put a lot of work into my submissions and I am rather slow to get them to the checkout list. Well, I just got a notification that one of my submissions with well over 300 carefully scanned pages cannot be added to the collection because so many paragraph breaks are missing, especially in dialog and that it must be rescanned. That was one thing that I did not notice and did not check before submitting. I just looked at my copies of other scans and I have a 396 page submission currently being proofread and another 400 page book that I am close to finishing that may have the same problem. I am not certain at all that I have the will to start all over on these books. I am using Open Book 9 on a Windows 7 computer and I do not have Word except for Word starter. Does anyone know if there is a good way to fix this problem short of starting all over and does anyone know how to prevent it in the future. Honestly, putting all that work in only to be told that it has to be done all over again kind of makes a person want to just give up.
