Hi Carrie, Actually there are three types of section-breaks that Word
recognizes . but haven't seen the third type show up any where yet. Tom

I was planning on telling the whole list what I found. Sure wish Word could
distinguish between the 2 types of section breaks. That would make life much
easier!

Hi Carrie, Would you mind alerting me also of your results? I've been
encountering trouble with Fine-Reader 8 also. I don't know if it's me but I've
been getting too much junk. Went back to omni-page 15 and almost perfect scans,
even though much slower. Thanks Tom

Hi Monica,
Sorry to hear about the problems with my scans. I was about to say that
nothing changed at the office 3-4 months ago, but I'm not sure that's true. I
started using version 8 of Finereader instead of version 7 several months ago,
but I'd guess it's 6 months or so. I wonder if that's what has caused the
difference. If you give me the name of a book with the problem, I'll run the
.tif file through Finereader 7 and see if I can spot any differences in the
output between the 2 versions of Finereader. Or I can find a short book at the
office and run a check myself. Will let you know what I find out. Maybe I will
have to go back to using Finereader 7...
Sorry! Carrie

Hi. I'm writing to ask for help. Lately when I take one of Carrie's
scans, I keep running into the same problem. When I get the rtf
file, it has section breaks as always. However, when I use the find
and replace feature and replace ^b with ^m it makes 2 page breaks for
every section break that used to be there, and column breaks start
showing up where there were none before I do this replacement. This
only happens with Carrie's recent scans. I tried an older scan done
by Carrie, and it worked perfectly. This didn't start happening till
about 2 or 3 months ago. Before that, this find and replace thing
worked just fine, and I validated 30 or 40 of Carrie's books. Does
anyone know what I'm dealing with and what I can do to fix it? I
haven't applied any updates to Office XP. Am I doing something wrong
and just don't know it? Once I change the section breaks to page
breaks, sometimes the page number and header will have a page break
above it and then right below it so that a book of 500 pages ends up
being over 900 pages with these breaks. I am seriously stumped. Can
any of you help?
