E, I'm not sure, but I think some, and possibly most, of it is due to not having pages on a flatbed straight enough for the OCR to recognize the lines properly. Of course, it's also possible that the OCR software is having a bit of trouble at consistently handling the spacing between lines in some books. I've also caught Fine Reader adding a line break before a number in quite a few instances, so there may be a bug in it that needs fixing, at least in version 7. Usually rescanning the page will fix the problem when I run across a page in one of my scans which has a lot of broken lines, so I think that it's mainly due to having the page skewed a bit more than the OCR software can tolerate. Note that I said rescan, not rerecognize, since rerecognizing the page using K-1000 can't change the amount of skew in the image. BTW, I wrote a tip a couple of months back which is helpful for searching for these types of problems using Word. Usually 10 extra minutes of searching can find all, or nearly all, of the instances where this happens and allow you to fix them. Maybe you can adapt it to K-1000, but I think this is one instance where Word is the better tool. If someone continuously has this issue with their scans, then I'd suggest they make sure that they're using good practices for scanning, such as keeping the surface of their scanner clean, holding the book down flat when scanning, and making sure the book is straight when scanning. It's my experience that this can go a long way to improving scans. But of course you knew that. Although, perhaps some of the newer volunteers didn't.

For example, are certain software scanning packages prone to these issues? Anybody know settings to lower such things from occurring? E.
