When you save the file, make sure that it is in an accessible file like .rtf since many of us (like myself) don't have Open Book software and cannot access Open Book files.

I am planning on scanning and submitting books. i have a few basic questions which i'm hoping someone can answer for me. I use Open Book, and have discovered that I need to play around with the scanning settings, particularly pthe print recognition. i've never really had to do that before, because everything I've scanned came out fine until i tried to scan a novel. Then it was horrible. Basically, when I hit apply after changing the speech or scanning settings and then close Open Book, the next time I restart the program, my settings are as they were before I changed them. For those of you who use open Book, what settings do you find have the least amount of errors when scanning? Any help would be appreciated.
