I know what causes it, actually E, and I am not using that engine unless I have no other choice. It is caused by Scansoft, and its recognition engine, and Indeed I find it strange because the words split, not lose letters or other things. The shame is Scansoft leaves off the junk that Fine Reader likes to put in, and it is better at numbers and fractions than Fine Reader. but indeed the split words is aggravating, smile. I have had the techs at Kurzweil look at images, and they say there there is no problem with my scanner, is just how Scansoft works with my scanner, smile. But indeed it can be very very frustrating to encounter them. I also scanned this book about two years ago, so maybe it is fixed in the new version of scansoft. But when I did scan this book, the Scansoft was the engine that did the best job with the book. Shelley L.

Those specific words do not occur but you get the idea. I got out most of it with rank spelling. I do not know what setting causes this. Please take the comment as feedback rather than criticism.
