Judy, is there anything you should do to create a list that bookshare's
tools keep. I've not run across a list, yet, and wanted to know how to
handle it when I do. I'm using MS Word XP to proof.

Hi all,
With a lot of the questioning about what the DAISY files keep from the
rft, I wanted to confirm the following from my own experiences. When
the Bookshare tools translate a rtf into the DAISY files and the
associated XML files that a sighted Bookshare member might read they
always maintain:
1. Bolding
2. Font Point sizes
3. Italics
4. Tables (tables that were creates as true tables, using the Word
tables tools, for example).
5. Ordered and unordered lists
6. page numbering and pagination
I'd like to take a moment to really thank all the volunteers who are
working to keep these attributes in the books they scan, even when
those attributes don't make any difference to their own reading and
can be hard to understand. smile.
For someone who is sighted, a book with all these attributes stripped
out is like listening to a symphony where every member plays every
instrument at the same volume, without any variation, all the way
through. You can listen to it, and still enjoy the music. However,
you've definitely lost some parts of what the composer intended to
convey and might not be able to notice a theme that the oboes are
repeating because the deep brass are drowning them out. grin.
