Denise,

Unless you want line endings to remain in a text such as a poetry book, do not 
check exact view.

  I'm dealing with the same issue using OB 8.0+. I've had to do the a^p 
replaced by a  all the way through the alphabet. Then throw in a few others 
like ,^p and ;^p, etc. That did a lot, but I'm now actually going through the 
book because there are still sentences that don't wrap end up with the 
paragraph mark at the end like you've said. The last book I did was much 
better. I picked the Fine Reader setting in OB with exact view. However this 
book was a paper back and the Fine Reader setting just didn't pick up the text 
as well so I tried the other choices with Omnipage Fireworks coming out heads 
above the rest. But now I'm back dealing with the paragraph marks at the end of 
each line again. Next time I scan a book as I'm reading it, I'm going to 
correct for this every few pages instead of having to do it all at the end when 
I think I'm ready to submit. 

  I have a find and replace sequence which illiminates those paragraph marks at 
the end of the lines, but it only works if there's a double paragraph mark at 
the true paragraphs. Otherwise to use the formula it removes all paragraph 
marks since it doesn't know which ones are real and which ones are just at the 
end of the line.

    I have just had  a couple of my scans bounced back to step one because of 
line breaks. I am told that my OCR program is turning every line into a 
paragraph and I have been instructed to change my OCR settings to not retain 
line breaks. I have looked through all my settings and I can find nothing about 
line breaks. Does anyone know how to change this? I am using Open Book 6.0.
