[bksvol-discuss] Re: A proofreading problem to watch out for.

I found a setting for font size under visual settings. I have ignored that
set of settings until now because I assumed that it had only to do with what
the document looked like and that doesn't apply to me. However, on your
suggestion I just changed it and tried scanning a test page. The default was 14
and I lowered it to 8, the lowest setting. That, apparently, did not work.
That is, it did not work providing I am correctly observing what a line
break is. Again,as I arrow down a document line by line within a paragraph I
move from one line to the next without blank lines. The blank lines occur
between paragraphs. When I backspace from the first letter in the first word in 
a
line to the last letter in the last word in the preceding line I hear the
word blank. After placing a space where the blank happened the line is
longer. I am supposing that the blank I hear when I do that backspacing is a 
line
break being deleted. If that is correct then changing the font size did not
work.

Please be sure to let us know when that software you mentioned is ready. I
think I want to try it out and see if that is a good way to remove the line
breaks if I can't stop them from appearing in the first place.

Yall:

Many of u on this list may know Jamal Mazrui. He is a programmer,
works w/the fcc, & basically does a great deal of accessibility work
for the blind & is in fact blind himself.

He has written an editor called EdSharp, & it can edit rtf files. He
has, at my request, recently added a feature so that page numbers
display on the status line. Searches can be performed for stuff like a
line break by using \n (backslash n), for example. Although he
originally designed it as primarily a programming/html editor, we
(that is, Jamal & some volunteers on this list & myself) are now in
continuing discussions as to how to make this a very useable
alternative to word for bookshare volunteers, as he himself is a huge
proponent of bookshare. The commands pretty much duplicate those in
word or wordpad & the interface doesn't get any more accessible. I
really rather suspect that within the next week or 2, we'll have
ironed out what glitches remain & it'll be yet 1 more tool in our
arsonel. Unlike Microsoft, where you've gotta wait forever for a
change to take effect, Jamal is responsive within days. Plus it's open
source so if any of u aspiring programmers out there wanna change the
code yourselves, knock yourself out! Plus Jamal, as talented &
knowledgeable as he is, nonetheless remains a really nice guy to work
with. No ego there.

It's available from:
www.empowermentzone.com
I believe.

Roger, u may want to look at your font & make certain it isn't too
large. Sometimes large fonts produce line breaks that go away when the
font is made smaller & the proper amount of text can fit on the page.

Night & blessings, yall.
