Hi Devorah,
My suggestion would be to convert the
tables to text, replacing all tabs with a single
space, as the bookshare processing tools remove
all tabs, and more than a single space between words.
As for your quote, it read fine to
me. Interesting how things were written differently back then. Neat to see!
Hope I haven't discouraged you too much about the tables thing.
Good luck.
Peace,
Mayrie

What is the protocol for tables?
I?ve got quite a few in the book I?m validating
? I?m using a library copy of the printed book
because the scanned version is all goofed up, as
I would expect. But what I?m doing is using tab
stops and recreating a table in tabular form.
Will this work for folks? If not, what should I be doing?

Also, I?m wondering what screen readers will do
with this quote from an 18th century midwife.
Can someone reassure me that it is decipherable?
