I actually find that it's a split between weather the -layout or the -raw flag produces better output. Sometimes, the -layout flag runs one line from the right column, then one from the left, then another from the right and so on. I'm not sure why, but sometimes the -raw option straightens this out better in my experience. >Message: 2 >Date: Tue, 02 Nov 2010 16:15:39 +0100 >From: Marcus Habermehl <bmh1980de yahoo de> >To: Tom Masterson <kd7cyu yahoo com> >Cc: orca-list <orca-list gnome org> >Subject: Re: [orca-list] PDF with Orca >Message-ID: <4CD02B1B 9070908 yahoo de> >Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 > >Do you have tried the -layout switch?
