I was able to see his response before the original messages on my end, Rober.

Thank you for the answers.  I use the Apex to read the text.  But for
some reason, it doesn't like to read the RTF format (and it should) so
I turn the document into an MS-word format and read it that way.  The
page formatting is therefore retained and I don't have to spend hours
in the computer chair, but can relax in the recliner and rread that
way.  (I'm lazy, but it's comfortable and I can read for long periods
that way.  I've always sort of considered font changes in fiction,
which is what I'm doing now, superfluous, since they're just
eye-candy.  But I am glad to see that the consensus seems to be for
finishing the word on the original page.

Hi Tom.
Welcome to the free-for-all.

I don't use a Braille display, so the answer to your first question will
have to wait for smarter heads to wake up. But, can't you use "structured" 
mode to get anything sent to the Braille display that is sent to the
synthesizer?
As to your second question: whether the hyphens are there or not, the word 
has to be combined on either side of the page break.

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.
