Yikes, I hope that isn't my problem either since the commission just got it for me.

Hi Georgina,

Do you have "ignore suspicious regions" disabled?  That might help,
with text that is missing.

I hate to pose this possibility, but when my scanner lamp was dying,
I'd get a couple of good pages, then pages with missing text.  I hope that
isn't your problem!

Mayrie

Hi Monica,
Yep I've tried that, I've tried stadic, normal tex, degrated tex, I've even 
tried dot maytrix.  I've tried scanning five different books to see which
one scanned better, but I get a couple of pages that are fine, and then poof 

I'm back to scanning mistakes.  Missing words, missing paragraphs, and so
forth and so on.  Since this is the first time I'm scanning a book I know
its not going to come out perfect, but the missing text is driving me nuts. 
I don't seem to be getting a handle on it.  *smile*.
Thanks.
Georgina

Hi, Georgina. It sounds like you're working with an interesting book.
(smile) Have you considered trying greyscale to see if that makes a
difference? Sometimes it does the trick when using normal
threshholding doesn't. You might also be scanning a page with a
drawing or photo on it when you get the 89 percent accuracy. Do you
think that's a possibility? I don't know what you're scanning, so I'm
mostly shooting in the dark here.
