I change optional hyphens (^- in word) to nothing. I also change tabs to
spaces but not until I've done a "find" to look for the tabs, because often
where there is a tab is a problem spot in the scanning. Sometimes the page
scanned crooked and the text is a little off or has lots of hard returns in
it where there are a lot of tabs. In word I also look for al occurences of
-^p (hyphen hard return) and fix those.

Mayrie will have a good list for you that she regularly uses.
