I found a setting for font size under visual settings. I have ignored that set of settings until now because I assumed that it had only to do with what the document looked like and that doesn't apply to me. However, on your suggestion I just changed it and tried scanning a test page. The default was 14 and I lowered it to 8, the lowest setting. That, apparently, did not work. That is, it did not work providing I am correctly observing what a line break is. Again,as I arrow down a document line by line within a paragraph I move from one line to the next without blank lines. The blank lines occur between paragraphs. When I backspace from the first letter in the first word in a line to the last letter in the last word in the preceding line I hear the word blank. After placing a space where the blank happened the line is longer. I am supposing that the blank I hear when I do that backspacing is a line break being deleted. If that is correct then changing the font size did not work. Please be sure to let us know when that software you mentioned is ready. I think I want to try it out and see if that is a good way to remove the line breaks if I can't stop them from appearing in the first place.

He is a programmer, works w/the fcc, & basically does a great deal of accessibility work for the blind & is in fact blind himself. He has written an editor called EdSharp, & it can edit rtf files. He has, at my request, recently added a feature so that page numbers display on the status line. Searches can be performed for stuff like a line break by using \n (backslash n), for example. Although he originally designed it as primarily a programming/html editor, we (that is, Jamal & some volunteers on this list & myself) are now in continuing discussions as to how to make this a very useable alternative to word for bookshare volunteers, as he himself is a huge proponent of bookshare. The commands pretty much duplicate those in word or wordpad & the interface doesn't get any more accessible. I really rather suspect that within the next week or 2, we'll have ironed out what glitches remain & it'll be yet 1 more tool in our arsonel. Unlike Microsoft, where you've gotta wait forever for a change to take effect, Jamal is responsive within days. Plus it's open source so if any of u aspiring programmers out there wanna change the code yourselves, knock yourself out! Plus Jamal, as talented & knowledgeable as he is, nonetheless remains a really nice guy to work with. No ego there. It's available from: www.empowermentzone.com I believe. Roger, u may want to look at your font & make certain it isn't too large. Sometimes large fonts produce line breaks that go away when the font is made smaller & the proper amount of text can fit on the page. Night & blessings, yall.
