You should correct those words that are broken by a page, or by anything else for that matter. Let's be clear about what the correction is though. If the word is continued on the next page but the hyphen is missing, do not correct it by inserting the hyphen. Correct it by joining the word on one or the other pages and then deleting its fragment on the other page. By the way, it would be good if, when replying to a message, you would place your reply before the quoted message so it would not be necessary to down arrow through the email to look for your response.

Hi Kathy.

The font changes are not automatically picked up by openbook, nor any
scanning program I know of.

Some people who scan do apply the font changes, but many prefer to leave it
to the proofreader to  apply them. That's one of the great things about
having two people work on a book.

  Any one,

  I am new at this list, so please bear with me. I have scanned one book,
and am in processing of scanning another. Do I apply these font rules during
scanning, or they automatically picked up by the scanner? I use Openbook.

But as a new proofer who uses only Braille to proofread the book, how
do I know the font changes?  And I have another question, also.  In
the book I'm currently proofing, there are a number of occurrence
where a hyphenated word is obviously divided between print pages, but
the hyphens are being omitted either by the scanner or something else.
I've been correcting them.  Should I?  Because if I understand the
manual correctly the answer is yes.
