Hi Bob!
Thanks! I hope I didn't mess up my first book causing it to be
rejected. Since I am not too far into the book I'm proofing now, I can
start over and stop messing with it so much. I showed my inexperience and
how bright green I am.

There is probably a paragraph mark between paragraphs. Most reading
software does what you tell it to do with paragraphs (i.e. indent, put in
a blank line, etc.)
I wouldn't bother with them as you will mess this up by putting extraneous
lines in the text. Besides, the bookshare tool takes all your arduously
put in blank lines and throws them away. [Sorry about that.]

Hi everyone!
When I proofed my first book and this one, all of the paragraphs were
together without a blank line between each paragraph, unlike the way it
is often done when writing on the computer and how the OCR software does
it, at least, OpenBook does. I suspect that is because of the file being
saved in the RTF format, which probably loses some of the attributes.
Both for the first book I proofed and the one I just started, I have been
putting the blank lines back in. Is that necessary? I read each line
one at a time by down arrowing so that I can read carefully to determine
where one paragraph ends and the next one begins. I thought I should do
that, because it didn't seem like each paragraph started with an
indent. Am I wrong? Is it really indented?
