Lori:
Where there seems 2 b like 1 character on a line, check the font.
Sometimes when the font is large, e.g., over 12 point, it can produce
some weird results, especially w/screenreading software, 4 whatever
reason.
I don't know exactly what the right thing 2 do in those cases is but I
tend 2 make the font size smaller even though it doesn't adhere 2 the
true formatting of the book cuz it makes things a whole lot more
readable. I guess some1 can let me know if that isn't the right thing
2 do.
