@Dennis ~ I scanned the book on a Canon DR-2510 using the OmniPage OCD software (very limited in scope) bundled with the scanner. It placed the scanned document into a .opd file but I could have saved it as a pdf or tiff (I think there was one other format) using just the scanner software. After the OCD editing process, it gave me the option of saving as a doc, rtf or txt. When saving as a doc or rtf and then opening in Word for further editing, it placed each scanned page in a textbox. Saving as txt completely strips any formating. My thought was to edit in Word and then resave as an html file per HarryT's guide. When I tried to save the textboxed version of the doc file as an html, it stripped all the formating just as if it was a txt file. I'm thinking that the problem lies with the limited version of the Omnipage app but it could very easily be "operator error".
