Brandon,

Sounds like each scanned page is just a graphical image being shown as a 
picture in MS-Word. These will all be objects, and to a sighted person would 
look just like a page with text. 
Unfortunately you'll have to use some OCR software to recognize these pages, 
and depending on the quality of the scanning, might not read well.

You might be better off scanning in the original pages from the book.

  Subject: Objects in Word?


  Hello, 
  my school scans in books for me to read, but for some odd reason just about 
all the books when placed into Word have objects. The amount of objects ranges 
from 12 too 1194. 
  The latter document is very slow to read and sometimes gets stuck in an 
object and reads the same page over and over. Then in other cases it skips a 
whole page and there is no way for me to get to that page except to search for 
it with the find command.
  I told the guy who scans about this problem, but he was rather confused and 
has no clue what I'm talking about...
  Any help would be welcome!
  Thank you,

  Brandon Keith
