I bet that ABBYY has a similar option.

I did a couple more tests and when I saved in RTF, it saved the formatting... but when I pasted it into Sigil, all the formatting (bold, italics etc) was gone.
I tried saving another HTML with ABBYY Sprint, from a scan that was 2 pages of an open book. It was terrible. Tons of lines, and they remained when I posted it into Sigil, along with having the pages right next to each other. I would hope that the professional version fixes that when you scan a book in a flat bed scanner.
The text files Sprint makes are fine. It just takes a lot of time to edit.
Thanks for the replies and advice.
I am planning to stop at the post office tomorrow for a flat rate box. I just need to figure out what is worthwhile to send off to be scanned. I have so many freebies from Amazon I know I'll never read. No use scanning a bunch of my own books I know I'll never read either.
