Hi, Scott! Open Book does retain page breaks. However, it is helpful if you turn on two-page scanning, which you may already be doing. <Smile> You can also go ahead and convert them to RTF before submitting, even if you usually do validate your own submissions. You don't have to, it's just an alternative. Take care!

Now of course I have a question that may be redundant, so apologies in advance. I scan books using Openbook, submit them in the .ark format, then I typically download those books and convert them to .rtf, proofread and edit, then upload the book for final approval. To this point, I haven't done anything with page breaks because I don't know much about them, and I also thought there was a program that would sort them out however they needed when the book was approved. So, my question will be: should I add anything to do with page breaks to my current operation?
