Hi Carrie, am anxious to try this. Thanks, Tom ----- Original Message ----- From: Carrie Karnos To: Pratik Patel ; Bookshare Vol Group ; Jennifer Sutton Sent: Wednesday, October 18, 2006 5:29 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] discovered the section break solution I figured out that pesky problem with extraneous section breaks being present in the Bookshare scans. When you bring up Finereader, there's a tab called Tools. Click on it, then click on Options, then click on Formats Settings and then click the far left tab for RTF/DOC/Word XML. The 'retain layout' drop-down list has three options: Original layout Columns, tables, paragraphs, fonts Tables, paragraphs, fonts The first option, original layout, puts in those extra section breaks and extra column breaks. The second option, columns etc., puts in extra section breaks but not column breaks. The last option, tables etc., leaves all the extra breaks out. YES!!!! I am redoing the 14 books I OCRed yesterday, and will redo any books that someone requests me to, if the books are still here in the office (they should be, but sometimes they disappear mysteriously). My abject apologies for not recognizing this bug earlier. It looks like the option was never set when Finereader 8 was set up originally. My thanks to Jennifer for pointing me in the right direction!
