@hidari ~ Thanks for the suggestion. I'll look into it. The software that came with the scanner is version 4 and the company is on version 17. I think I can upgrade but it won't be cheap.
Initially, there were very few errors detected by the OCR software (only about 1 every 5 or so pages). The problem now is in what format to save the file. Saving to .doc places each page of text into text boxes. Saving to .rtf or .txt removes much of the formatting and creates a messy file. I can't save to .html because that option is only available in the updated version of the OCR software. Consequently, I will need to do some major editing to get any of the MS type files ready for ebook conversion. Some of the editing will include deleting lines from the scanned edge of the book page, removing the author's name, book title and page numbers from each page. My next step is to see if I can get the Book Designer software working and perhaps upgrading my OCR software.
I don't mind all the work, I love a challenge. I just wish I knew the correct steps to take in advance. I tend to be a bit obsessive compulsive about these kinds of things.
