Hi Valerie,
It's really a matter of personal proofreading
preference. You're doing just
fine, if it works for you. Bookshare's tools do strip
all blank lines
ultimately.
Clear as mud?

I thought all blank lines except page break, pagination and
chapter heading
protection are stripped by the tool. I have never had
blank lines before
and after the asterisk line denoting white
space. I need to know if I
should revice my process.
