I think the words "blank line" would be an annoyance. It would be too easy to confuse with the flow of the text itself and would leave the reader confused. As for the asterisks, three of them is just fine. I don't see that putting a space between them makes a diffference. In either case, I hear the words "star star star" and I really don't detect a difference in speed whether there is a space between them or not. At least I don't with my screen readers. I suppose there might be screen readers out there that I have not tried that might handle them differently, but mine read them at a pretty rapid clip and its just fine that way. I think that less than three might make it go by too fast. If there is a single star or just two stars pronounced one just might miss them, but three is hard to miss. Actually, the more there are the harder they would be to miss. However, I would think that more than five would be excessive. You sure would not miss six or more stars in a row, but you might want it to stop so that you can move on.

A couple of the books I just finished proofing, and the one I'm doing now, has lots of blank line spaces--some the equivalent of 2 lines, some larger spaces, e.g., the quivalent of 5 lines. I wonder if it would be less annoying to "read" [blank lines], the way we put [blank page[

So it is read as asterisk asterisk asterisk? I was just about to report a book for having one thousand million "asterisks" in it! Of course, they are not in blank spaces but in the middle of stuff so it needs to have a note placed on it anyhow. But now I know something new. Again. Will I EVER know enough? lol Charisma To unsubscribe from this list send a blank Email to bksvol-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put the word 'unsubscribe' by itself in the subject line.
