Hi Listers:

Thanks for the feedback!  I appreciate it.

Some additional questions:

1) should the print page number be on the same line as the form feed or on a separate line?

2) What should I do about hyphenated words? This usually happens if the last workd on an ink-print page is split between the current page and the next page? Will the Bookshare stripper program fix this or should I fix the hyphenated words (join them together) before I submit the book?

3) The present book I'm doing is in text mode because it's easier for me to edit it in text mode. The parahraps are not indented but there is a blank line between each paragraph. will the braille translation program be able to identify the paragraphs?

4) I'm wondering wht formats could be edited on a Braillenote (Keysoft 6.11) without spoiling the format (meaning when I transfer the edited files back to the PC, the format wof the book will not be affected). FSEDIT on the PacMate tends to screw up the format and of the document and Pocket Word on the PacMate will work only with files 100KB or smaller.

5) Are there any written guidelines?  if so, where would I find them?

Thanks for your feedback on these questions!
