Cindy, the k1000 folks were just on the list saying this was a bug which

One possibility ocurs to me--if the scanner just eliminates the end-of-line hyphens but does not replace them with nothing, then the spaces would remain. I don't think one can do a global replace, though, because then some words that should be hyphenated would be together instead--of course that can be corrected by the validator, if he/she reads the book, but not if he/she just does the minimum required. Still,having those words together without a hyphen probably is preferable to having space between words where they don't belong. smile
