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!

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
