I don't know because I can't get the codes to reveal in Word. I've tried a few times with no luck.

Nancy,I have figured out how to take the linebreak characters out using Word Perfect. You don't have the issue with capital letters in Word Perfect, which you appear to have in Word. My problem--and it is probably a function of my sixty-eight years--is that I need to keep a running list of the last letter preceding whose linebreak I have just deleted. Someone yesterday posted how to get the reveal codes in Word. I tried what I thought it was (alt/ctrl/8) and it did not work. Did I mess up?RKPAttention: The information contained in this message and/or attachments is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or nonpublic material.

However, thinking back to almost a year ago when I first became a volunteer, if I had read a manual that long an complicated I think I might have been intimidated into backing out. If I saw a lot of instructions dealing with programs and equipment I did not have I might have decided that I was unable to volunteer at all."I find capitalism repugnant.

For example, a section on using MS Word to proof books. The section might include a checklist type approach with instructions for accomplishing those tasks. For example, 1. check and fix fonts with appropriate instructions. 2. taking out paragraph breaks with Word instructions. This would help proofers make sure they remembered to do all these things before submitting a book. Anotherset of instructions would be written for OpenBook, Kurzweil 1000, etc. I hope I'm making some sense.

This guideline shapers group is a wonderful idea. I'd like to be included on this team if that's possible.

Some of you have written in to staff with detailed emails articulating those areas of concern and where the guidelines appear more inconvenient than helpful. Others have expressed their opinions on the list. Carrie and I have had several discussions recently on how best to address these concerns and modify the guidelines so that they serve as a tool and not a hindrance. As hands-on volunteers all of your input is valuable and we want the guidelines to reflectthe best practices and collective wisdom of the volunteer community.Regarding page numbers Carrie will send out a note shortly to clarify some of the areas of confusion and concern and explain how the guidelines for this will be implemented. Bottom line is that we do understand the wide variety of challenges volunteers face with including page numbers in books, and we're glad to have had your feedback. We intend hereon for this guideline to be implemented with a large degree of flexibility - and will be rewriting the guidelines to clearly reflect the difference between page number requirements for educational books and other submissions.Moving forward though, for us one of the overarching questions that the Page Number issue brings up is:What is the most efficient and effective way for Bookshare to do the following:1. Identify volunteer areas that need guidelines2. Draft guidelines and have them reviewed by a small pool of volunteers(in a sort of beta phase)3. Finalize and share these guidelines among the greater volunteer communityIdeally, Carrie and I feel that volunteers should have a leading and more transparent role to play in steps 1 and 2 above.Here is a suggested approach, that it would be great to get your input on:1. Form a self-selected team of "Bookshare Guideline Shapers" (we can think of a better name down the line- smile). The Guideline Shapers are Bookshare volunteers who step forward to help identify, draft and sound out missing guidelines. Even if something is brought to staff attention regarding a missing guideline, we would turn it over initially to this group with our suggestions if any.2. The Guideline Shapers would decide on areas that need guidelines, work on an initial draft of these guidelines and then send them over to Carrie/me for review from the Bookshare staff perspective. The Guideline Shapers would go over any edits from us and come up with a revised guideline. They would then solicit feedback on the guideline from the volunteer list before making any final tweaks to it.3. Once the guideline has been finalized, I will incorporate it in the Volunteer Manual, and ensure that it is announced on the volunteer blog as well as on the volunteer discussion list. (We will create a separate section of the manual for Updates to the Manual so that it is easy for people tokeep up with the changes).Participation from the volunteer community while shaping policy, we feel is key and we think this approach could be a really invigorating way of facilitating the creation of useful guidelines from the inside-out. Of course we would be more than glad to help with the logistics of setting up a group alias and other etcs for Guideline Shapers, and to provide assistance wherever we can. We would love your feedback on this approach as well as to know if any ofyou are interested in being part of such a team.
