Hi Marilyn,The answer to your indentation question is that yes, all indentations will be deleted. So, you needn't bother deleting them yourself.As to your question about blank lines, here is what is preferred on a page:If page numbers are at the top page break blank line page number blank line text on the page blank line page break If page numbers are at the bottom: page break blank line text on the page blank line page number blank line page breakIn case this might help, and you haven't heard or used this trick before, there is a simple way to insert blank lines before and after each page break when using Microsoft Word. In the find and replace dialogue, type ^m in the find box. In the replace box type ^p^m^p and then do a replace all. This keeps you from having to insert blank lines around page breaks by hand.This format is preferred because it offers the best results in the html files produced by bookshare, if I remember correctly the reason that I do this with every book.Hope all that helps some.

So far, I've received no response from them, and just today Uploaded another book with the same experience described below. Can anyone enlighten me? Many thanks, Marilyn----- Original Message ----- From: "Marilyn Beasley" <mbeasley@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <volunteer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, April 07, 2008 3:33 PM Subject: A Question or TwoHi. I'm a fairly new sighted volunteer and I just uploaded my fourth or fifth book. There's something that I was doing during the last book that I think I was just wasting my time with, and I wanted to make sure. I learned from the volunteer discussion list that extra blank lines between paragraphs are deleted by the system, so I stopped putting them in a long time ago. I also learned that if I put a Tab in at the beginning of a new paragraph, that Tab gets deleted, so I stopped putting that in, too. This confused <me> because I couldn't see the new paragraphs, so I put in a half-inch First Line Indent (working in Word) so the first line of every paragraph is automatically indented a half inch. This helps me a lot, but what it also does is put an indent before the page numbers, so I have to delete it on the blank line before the page number, the line with the page number, and the blank line after the page number. Are these First Line Indents also deleted by the system, so I don't have to bother deleting them? Another question: Do I have to leave a blank line at the top of every page (assuming the page number is at the bottom)? Or can it just be "Page Break" and then immediately start with the text? And vice versa with a blank line at the bottom of the page (if the page number is at the top). Thank you, really, very much. -- MarilynTo unsubscribe from this list send a blank Email to bksvol-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxput the word 'unsubscribe' by itself in the subject line.
