This is the first time this has happened to me. I have been using Openbook for
almost four years and I never had this happen before. *sigh*

I just have never had this much trouble with OpenBook.

I normally do this, but the last time I saved in ark, the document was
eaten by openbook. So, I tried working with rtf...and the document is now
trashed.

I always save as an ARK until finally I've finished with scanning the
book in its entirety. Can't see much point in saving in .rtf before that.

Hi, Christine. What version of Openbook are you using? I know that some
older versions of the program had trouble with saving as rtf files. When I used
Openbook 7, I noticed that it left line breaks and blank lines in some odd
places. I found that I got the best results if I did all of my scanning and
proofreading while my file was in the ark format and then saved it as an rtf at
the very end. Some people save as rtf after each session of working on the
book, and Openbook doesn't seem to like that very much. (smile) I don't know if
this has been helpful at all. Maybe someone else has some better ideas to help
you.

Maithe's recent comment about page breaks being stripped out of one
of her files when she opened it in Word made me remember another scanning issue
I had while scanning textbooks over winter break. It happened with two of the
ten textbooks I scanned (and four more suffered the same fate as Maithe's file,
so out of ten textbooks I scanned, only about three of them were even readable,
much less submission quality). I scanned the books in OpenBook, saving the
files as RTF files. Everything looked fine in OpenBook, but when I opened the
files in Word, there were huge numbers of blank lines between lines of text.
For example, two lines of a paragraph might be on one page, then two pages
later there would be another few lines, then five pages later there would be
another single line, and so on. This type of thing is hardly worth fixing, so I
just decided to rescan the books, but I am really curious to know if any of you
can explain this.
