Hi Kim,
You, unfortunately, can't do any of what you want to do. The tools will
remove indentation and extra spaces. If you really, really want the first
word of each line to be farther to the right than it has been in the rest of
the text, you'll have to put dashes before the first letter of each line. I
suggest simply leaving the text at the left margin and not being cutesy by
putting spaces between letters as the book had it printed. That was only
for visual effect anyway.
Sorry to put a monkey wrench into the works.
Mayrie

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Formatting advice needed
Hi, I will be finishing a book that I've been proofreading. The main
challenge for me will be in formatting the character index at the end of the
book. The person who submitted the book informs me that character names are
indented in all caps and there is a blank space between letters. Question:
since the main body of the text is at the left margin and the paragraph
presentation isn't indented, How can I format the index so the character
names are indented to make them stand out from information about them and
how do I preserve double spaces between letters when there is a change?
Regards, Kim Friedman.
