Cindy I haven't noticed that the words were already combined but maybe I just 
haven't noticed. I do combine them on one page or another, just deciiding which 
page seems to make m ore sense. smile

If we change the text of a book that is not a regular "scanning" error or 
sanctioned by Bookshare, we may LOSE the opportunity to help many other people 
be able to read accessible books.  I understand that leaving words that 
don't make sense goes "against the grain" in our minds, but this quite 
important.  I beg you to follow the manual and what is passed on to us by 
Mayrie and Alisa!
