In Openbook 9 I found in the Settings Menu the ability to alter the Visual settings to Exact View. Try rummaging around in there to see how it impacts your results.
Thx, Albert

Subject: [VICUG-L] scanning an image, as is?
Hi All,
My friend has a 4-page CD list of tracks. This printed list is set in a nice, neat tabular format, with columns headed something like, bin, cd, track, title, artist
When we scan this with whatever scanner is available, we get all of column 1 followed by all of column 2, then all of column 3, you get the picture. Simply put we do Not Get The Picture we want
row1 consisting of columns 1, 2 3 info,
Row 2, with columns 1, 2 3, etc.
Is there a solution for this?
I have heard of setting nondecolumnized mode in something like OpenBook, but that rarely ever worked past a certain date and time; I mean, it used to work very long ago, but, alas, not anymore.
So,
1, is there something which we can tell the scanner app or hardware?
and or,
2, Is there perhaps some post scanning smart text editor which can undo the damage and reformat the text properly?
Help appreciated.
John Sanfilippo
