Question, I am validating a larger project than I'd planned, Physical Examination for Health Assessment. All the copyright info is most definitely present. I converted this doc file to RTF immediately. My question is this, there are a lot of hyphenated words, and the hyphens appear to be properly placed, my guess they were done by the publisher, or else the submitter (no name shown) did a good job, I should leave these alone? It would read better aloud without them, but, this is about a 900 page document, I am not really inclined to remove them all. Any opinions? This book had a fair rating, although in the first few pages, I have not found anything other than those hyphens that could be questionable.
