Jean,
I'm not suggesting that anyone reformat the print document. I'm saying that
Duxbury's Word importer should optionally treat the presence of two
paragraph marks in a document as a paragraph, while considering one
paragraph mark as if it were a line break. Look at the typical Word
document, and you'll see that there are usually two paragraph marks between
paragraphs. If the importer handled this situation, it would save us the
trouble of having to remove a paragraph style and substitute a line break in
the case where there is only one paragraph mark. As it is, the importer is
already smart enough to ignore two consecutive marks, so it wouldn't take
much programming to have it make the distinction. Alternatively, we can try
to persuade everyone who produces Word documents for brailling to press
Shift-Enter for line breaks and Enter for paragraphs. Some people will do
it, but most will not even understand why they should.
Steve
