That is what I have been doing with Abduction. Read, correct, delete, replace as I go. I wanted to read it anyway. I'm on P. 145 but will be doing more on it now. Does next week make two weeks that you have had the book, Cindie, or does it make three? There haven't been any scannos I couldn't make out sinnnce I asked about the last one.

The only way I've figured to get rid of them is by hand as I read along. You can get rid of them a paragraph at a time, at least on Word, by blackening the paragraph up to the final mark (it's a paragraph mark in my Word) and replace with nothing. However, I've found this more time-consuming in a whole book than by reading the book and deleteing the paragraph symbol as I go.
