Hi Carrie,  No haven't tried 7,  but I will.  I've been intouch with Abbyy's 
tech support group to find out that their development group is in Moscow 
Russia, what a suprise, although I guess I shouldn't be in this day when India 
seems to be the hub of so much tech activity.Column breaks you say, I'll get on 
that one .  It'll be a couple of days before I let you know the outcom.  Thanks 
much,  Tom

  It added 150 page breaks to your book?  Wow.  I also use MS Word to convert 
the section breaks to hard page breaks, but I delete column breaks.  Do you 
delete column breaks?  I've never seen Finereader add section breaks, but 
anything is possible when computers are involved (I wrote software for 25 years 
before I retired so I'm allowed to say things like that :-))

  Have you tried Finereader 7?  Does it also add page breaks to your books?

        Hi Carrie, I've tried 8 and found too many section breaks in my result. 
 Does this make sence to you?  I use M S Office Word too convert the sec tion 
breaks to hard page breaks.  On the last book I tried it on I ended up with 650 
pages in a 500 page book,  Too much time involved removing that mess.  The 
reason I'm asking is that I'm trying to up my productivity.  Thanks Tom

      It's ABBYY Finereader.  We have versions 7 and 8 on 2 (of the 4) 
computers in Marissa's office and I prefer version 7.  The quality is 
comparable but 7 seems a lot faster in reading and in saving the pages.

      My 2 cents, Carrie

          Hi Liz,

          Thanks for your offer, but I'd rather scan Cell in-house, if you 
don't mind.  With the high-speed scanner, it only takes a few minutes to scan 
it, and in general, the scans are pretty clean.  So feel free to take the book 
back to the library.

          Hope you're having a good week!  Carrie

            Hi C arrie: 

            I was just wondering if you wanted me to rescan Cell by Stephen 
King?  A copy is already up on Bookshare, but I don't think it has page breaks. 
 If you want me to rescan, let me know, or if not, I'll take the book back to 
the library. 

            Thanks, and take care, 

            L iz
