Great tips everyone...My workflow is similar to Jen_Smith.

I use AbbyFinereader Express as it is the only option available for Mac. Unfortunately, it limited in its function when compared to the PC version.

I scan 2 pages of the book in 1 go.

I recently started to convert to html and found that there is less conversion issues vs converting to text. When conveted, the html looks as I scan it ... 2 pages.

Once converted, I copy all and paste to my text edit program on Mac. But the downside of this is that all the formatting (italics etc ) is lost.

I have an MS Word but I cant figure it out. How can I open the html file in MS word. I have tried to copy and paste into the MS word but it paste as how I scan it. How do I get it into one column instead of 2?

I am trying to reduce one step in the process by not having to find and add in italics.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
