Hi Judy,

I'm obviously not Jim, but I can answer one of your questions. Yes, if the book you are validating has section breaks instead of page breaks, do change them. I don't think though, that you are supposed to convert section breaks to page breaks if they are indeed supposed to be section breaks. That would, obviously, mess up pagination in the book.

Sorry I have no wisdom about any of the rest. Not that that restating of what I've been told was wisdom. Anyway...

Peace,
Mayrie

Hi Jim,

I've tried validating your books but the minute I touch any of the formatting (for example, changing a section break to a page break) the rest of the book becomes wonky for me to try and work with. Word re-arranges the entire text, which seems to be in a columnar format, with many specific margin settings, and I end up with things like pages that are one character wide.

I tried contacting you privately about this last week, in terms of any suggestions on what I should do - including asking whether we are supposed to turn section breaks into page breaks, but never heard back. smile. I assume the internet gremlins ate my email, but I haven't had time to try and contact you again. smile.

So - I'd validate your books, as several of them are ones I would like to read, but I don't know how to do so without messing them up. The only thing I can validate on them is scanno errors in spelling.

I've noticed that there are a large number of books listed on the validation list. Is there some way to encourage more people to volunteer as validators? Or do you have any thoughts about how to get some of these books validated? I have about 6 books on the list that I've scanned which appear to be stalled on the validation list. Any recommendations welcome.
