Thanks Mayrie!
Glad to know I wasn't messing up when I didn't have blank lines before and
after asterisks in previous books. I'll just continue to do things as I
always have. *smile*
Blessings.

Hi Lynn,
The bookshare tools will ultimately remove the blank lines around asterisks.
It's just more comfortable, at least for me, as a proofreader to have them
surrounded by blank lines when proofreading.

Hi Everyone!
I'm glad this subject of asterisks had come up. I've not been leaving a
blank line on either side of them. Sorry about that, everybody. I do know
that the Bookshare tool did retain them in the books I've proofread, there's
just not a blank line on either side of the asterisks.
Thanks Mayrie for helping me learn something and hopefully become a better
proofreader. *smile*
Blessings.

Remembering my seeing days I have always seen books using stars in that
fashion placing them with a blank line before and after the stars. I think I
would leave them that way in the proofread copy.
