Superb. This is exactly what had happened with my textbooks a while back. Just
couldn't remember how they fixed it. I'll be sure and give it a go this evening!

I know what the optional hyphen thing is! I thought I took those out because
one other person said they had a problem with them.
Ok you want to go into Word and Ctrl-H for the replace box. Type in ^-
(carrot which is shift-6) and the hyphen). Tab and press delete. Then press
Alt-A to replace them all with nothing.
What it is is when the program scans and then ocr's it, if a word has a
hyphen in it, and the ocr thinks it should NOT have a hypen, that it only has a
hyphen because of the way it is in print, it puts in kind of an invisible
hyphen just in case it made a mistake. Some words actually are supposed to have
a hyphen but most are not.
So that is what it is, and it's very easy to get rid of. It will take you
less than 5 minutes, smile
