Hey everyone: I didn't want to weigh-in on this discussion since I have not had one year of proofreading under my belt yet (my anniversary will be in April-YEA! *smile*) but as this thread went on, I kept trying to think where about I saw the blank line before and after the page numbers "must-do" at. As far back as April 2012, I was told that blank lines must be preserved before and after the page numbers as well as in the other important places (I won't go into that). So, of the 10-12 books I have proofed, I preserved blank lines in that position. When asked, I was told so that the conversion tool will recognize the page numbers and not add them into the line of the text. As a reader of the books on Bookshare, it is quite distracting to read a book and then in the middle of the sentence have a "unwanted" number read or possibly have that number split and have the numbers randomly throughout the next line of text (which I have seen in my very early days of reading Bookshare books). Anyway, like Ann said, it is indeed in the first manual I read. *smile* Just a pennies-worth "Just because you are blind does not mean you lack vision"-Stevie Wonder To unsubscribe from this list send a blank Email to bksvol-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put the word 'unsubscribe' by itself in the subject line.
