Cindy,
Do you remember the problems we had with the Indices in the Kipling? I did not have MS Word and unfortunately still don't but at least remembered what we did so I removed all the tabs and replaced them with spaces by space bar - lots of spaces.
One problem I did not resolve and don't know how the validater will resolve is the double-spacing of lines which end with a return. Do you know if the Bookshare computers have fixed that or will the indices and other odd places end up with strange double-spacing. This had two columns of nouns separated by space with page numbers following each line of people, places or things

I'll have to try that next time. Do I understand you properly Jake? I can scan a
table that's in a book and it will OCR as a table? Then why are they not turning
out properly in books that people are scanning? Why do they ask to have me do
