[bksvol-discuss] Problem with OpenBook

Hi, everyone, I'm having an intermittent problem with OpenBook and I was
wondering if anyone else here has had a similar experience.
It started just this morning, when saving as .rtf, I'm getting a file that
looks like one long line with \par \par where the paragraphs should begin. But
that's not all: It is also giving me a \rquote that extra space is there
deliberately - where each apostrophe should be. Where a title is located,
there is a whole raft of similar-looking stuff.
The problem is worse because I can't seem to create it at will. Also, it
doesn't always happen. It started just this morning after I began playing with
the contrast setting - I had kept it on automatic up to now, but I can't see
how that could have anything to do with it, and I am currently on setting 150
because it is giving good results in the text recognition department and I'm
not getting these characters now. That's the frustrating part: I can't cause
the problem. I haven't changed any other settings that I recall, but I can't
swear it. The first page of the book starts like this:
{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\uc1 \page \fs24 etc. (The etc. is not part of the
sample.)
A few weeks ago, someone - I think it was on the other list - said that he had
seen this, but I think it was in a file he was validating, not one he had
scanned. At the time, I said that it looked like something viewed in one file
format that was intended to be read by another program, like reading a file in
a native word processor format such as .doc or wp5 in a text reader. It looks
as though OpenBook is saving the file in .rtf but not actually converting it;
but it has never done that before, and that's just a guess.
Anyone had OpenBook or another scanner doing this, and know how to cause it,
and better how to prevent it?
Thanks for any feedback.
