[bksvol-discuss] Problem with Recent Scans

Hey Guys,

Recently my scans for Lissi have started to develop an anomaly. At some random page, she starts seeing frames, borders, boxes, around each page, just one line surrounding each page like a box. It goes on for many pages, but not necessarily to the end of the book. Each book is different as to where this phenomenon starts and where it ends. It has begun in the newest book earlier than the previous ones, which may indicate that whatever it is is getting worse. It's not a feature of older scans, and she has not seen it in scans from other people. When we discovered that, it made me think that something is going on with my laptop, instead of her desktop, although I cannot imagine what it might be. That's why I'm writing here.

I'm using K1000 version 13.01 to scan these books, and I can find nothing about borders or boxes in any of the settings. I have not knowingly made any changes to my laptop in the past few weeks.

I do have MS Word 365 on here, but I never brought any of these books into it before sending them up to be proofread.

I did try putting a book with this problem through K1000 again, then Wordpad, but it apparently had no effect.

Just to cover every base I could think of, I've checked and borders are not set in her Word 2010, which makes sense since these lines around pages do not appear in other peoples' scans, nor in scans older than a few weeks. She's proofing one of those I scanned last year and there's no sign of these boxes or borders.

Two questions:

First, does anyone have any idea what else I can try to get rid of these things?

Second, does anyone know, (Amanda, I'm thinking of you especially), if a book is checked in with these lines around some of the pages, what Bookshare's processing will do with it? Will it choke, or just ignore them, or remove them?

Thanks for any advice, guys. This is an odd one for sure.

Evan
