You can always send me an image, Shelley, or one page out of the KES file with images retained. I won't be able to fix your problem, but I can at least describe what is causing it.

Send it to me at  steve@xxxxxxxx

Note, though, that I will be away until Tuesday.

hi you all, I am baffled by a scanning challenge I am having and am
wondering what I can do with it, as it stands this book won't be readible if
I can't figure out something for this.

I am scanning a book which has two columns on the page.

i even believe but can't be positive there is a line between the columns.

It lists trees and provides all kinds of information about them, from their
leaf size, growing conditions, what flowers it has and everything.

But no matter what I do, if I have columns on, or columns off, or if I have
partial coumns kept or ccolumns not kept.  This little bugger insists on
treating the page as one column, which means the entire page is a jumbled
mess.

I wouldn't mind sorting this out but at the moment I don't know how.

And unfortunately it isn't the only page to do this, as unfortunately there
are about 100 pages of this.  It is one of the best tree resources I have
found, and was published in 1973 and is a library book, so i can't send it
to get done, and darn it I want to read it.

Does anyone have any suggestions.

I am using.

Kurzweil 1000
version 9.0
coulumns are enabled
partial columns are being kept
grayscale and 300 dpi

The rest is usual fair.

it just  frustrates me to no end.

Anyway, thank you if anyone has some suggestions so I don't have to just say
forget it on this book as I want to read it and is one of the better books
on the topic.

The OCR has recognized the columns throughout the rest of the book I can't
figure out why it isn't recognizing them now.
