Dear Tom,
Thank you for the information. Do you use these key strokes at each section
break, as the cursor is on the line below it? Or, do you go into some menu
bar and those strokes, as you described below, then change the breaks for
the whole book.
What if some have already been exchanged for page breaks as I have for the
first 40 pages of this funny, imaginative collection of folk tales and
myths.
I laughed a plenty at the ridiculous cat cleaning joke you sent. I spoil and
love my dogs lavishly and get tearful at any description of hurtful things
done to animals and usually beg the person to stop telling me before my
heart breaks, but, your humor was an exercise in the absurd and I, who need
humor in my life even more than usual, appreciated the change of pace and
the little giggle.
It wasn't until I began meeting people on computer that I realized some
people are genuinely offended by certain humor. It's made me caughtious now
that I know humor makes some people seethe instead of laugh. I'm sure I have
boundaries in what I consider funny, too, but I personally found your post a
hoot. I'm sure everyone knows you meant no harm and we have to accept the
fact that one person's joke is another's insult.
Recently I mailed a joke about Bush to 3 friends. Two of them raved about
how funny it was and were busily passing it on. The third scolded me twice,
calling me a few insulting things. Passive me, replied that I'd take her
opinions about humor in to account in the future and dropped the matter,
deleting the scoldings and not over reacting, leaving the friendship in
tact.
When I get humor I think is in poor taste, I who never even mildly say bad
words, I just delete it and avoid insencerity by not passing it on, and not
writing to the person and raving about how funny it was. I think my lack of
reaction gets my point across.
I think the longer we remain on a list, the more we come to know the
complexity of its members and realize like real people, they are basicly
wonderful, often better than most, but we've all got our tender spots.
Just a reminder since I've wandered so farr afield, I'm looking forward to
learning more about using the commands you provided which you can review
below.
Always With Love,
Lissi
Hi I'll will jump in with the info, Find , carret lower case b. The
carret is a shift six. and Replace with carret lower case m. That will
change all of your section breaks to hard page breaks. Happy Thanksgiving.

Hi Cindy,
Different programs will handle section and page breaks differently. So to
someone validating a book, it may appear that there are no page breaks, but
they may not realize that section breaks are there.That could cause the
validator to reject the book on the basis of no page
breaks.
The BookShare system however handles each equally. The process for
converting section breaks to page breaks is an easy find/replace in MS Word.
If you're interested I'm sure Gerald or I could dig it out of the archive.
We're on a semester deal and this one is going well. I'm still hanging in
with all A's at this point, there are just two weeks and then a week of
finals left.
The weather? Kind of cool, 30s-50s generally, a lot cooler than what we
became used to with this longer fall (in terms of weather).
I've been enjoying the lack of things hanging over my head and I've been
able to get a lot of BookShare volunteering done these last couple of days
as well.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Interesting, Jake, I thought it did make a difference
and that's why Tom or someone changed all his section
breaks to page breaks. But you're more the expert at
this than I am. smile
I hope you're enjoying this brief break. Are you on a
semester or a quarter system? HNow's the weather where you are?
