I did ignore all the unknown proper names and garbage. I had a Lot of garbage on my scan of this book and I was wondering, having had 2 bad scans in a row, whether my scanner was having some kind of focus problem.

Thanks.
..PS, I'll try non caps rank spelling just for the heck of it. Haven't removed headings yet.

Gary, I validated that book, and the errors I got in rank spelling were
mostly proper names. In fact, I had to ignore around 400 proper names
just to spell check the rest of the book. In this case, I think the rank
spelling percentages would be wrong unless you went in and ignored those
words. I spent several hours editing the book and removing headers.

Hi Gary,

Interesting, as I emphasized smile, the fact that it needed eting when I put
it up.

By the by,

the seetings were

Grayscale, 300 dpi, and Fine Reader 8 as part of Bookshare.

So.... I have to wonder, what happened to the book from my desk to
Bookshare, as most of what I glanced at read great.

Would whoever scanned If Democrats tell me what software and settings they used? I just took a look at this book for curiosity's sake and found it a
horrible scan never exceeding 99.6 and much often lower.  After I went
through the book with rank spelling, I still had 455 errors.
Much appreciated, Thanks.
