Wonderful. Many thanks, Mayrie. I hope you get a lot of rest today and feel
better. I'm going to start on Cry of the Wind as soon as I fix up World we
Have Lost (and 'm going to do that just with a spellcheck and pagination check,
so it should go quickly.

Hi Cindy,
I found an old book that had em dashes, from the era when I
didn't know I needed to change them to two hyphens, and it now has two
hyphens. Then, I uploaded a new book with em dashes and they too were
handled correctly.

Thanks for that info about em dashes no longer needing to
be converted to 2 dashes. though it's an easy find and replace all, it's
one less thing to do, and every second counts smile
Cindy--how did you
test it? find a book in the collection? (just curious)

Hi Bob,
Optional hyphens are not em dashes. Optional hyphens are
hyphens that were in the print book when a line on the page ended, but
didn't need a hyphen at that point otherwise.
And em dashes no longer need to be converted to double
hyphens. I tested it and it's true.

I thought you converted optional hyphens (—) to two
dashes (--).

There is another quirky arrow (not just a straight
line), called an optional hyphen, and those you DO delete. Maybe
those are what you are thinking of or have seen, Cindy. I would
be interested in learning how it is identified in Braille or by
speech.

I am thinking the right pointing error
is a tab, and would be replaced by a space unless you want
your material formatted as a table, then it can be used for
creation of a table.
If you are in Word and not wanting to make a table, do
a find and replace by putting ^t in the first box and a
single space in the second.
HTH!

But usually it's a temporary line break so that
it looks like the print book, but is very annoying in
braille and needs to be
eliminated.
