Hi Cindy,
I don't have a scanner nor do I have the first clue as how I would do it but
I just thought I would mention that I have downloaded a book that had this
problem. A few times I was able to fix it my self and in other times I had
to print out the offending pages and have sighted help to lay them next to
each other and fit the peices back together. I mention this because others
may find this after the book has been submited. I know you still have the
book so you don't have to print this out. smile
