Why, thanks a lot, Mayrie, I'll certainly do that. It always helps to
have a trick or two up your sleeve, doesn't it? Regards, Kim.

Hi Kim,
Also, if this happens again, you might try maximizing the window you're
in. Sometimes it isn't for some reason. There are two ways to maximize
differently First, way is alt plus space and then the letter x. The
second way is by pressing alt plus the dash and then the letter x.
Sometimes that helps me when things aren't reading completely.
Just in case you find a problem again, it's a simple thing to try.
Mayrie

Hi, Mayrie, when I opened the file, I went into the zoom menu and there
was a radiobutton set at 100% as you mentioned. Anyhow, My Braille
display is co-operating so far and I finished the first story. I think
(I'm not sure, but I suspect) this problem I had just happened with a
couple of lines on the page I was working on. I think what I'll do is
just proofread the stories and do the best I can. I probably will have
to email someone who knows how to deal with this style thing. If it will
take somebody who can see to figure out if there's anything squirrely
with the file, I'll ask for help. ameanwhile, I'm reading some great SF.
I don't intend to lose any more sleep over it, though that first story
made me lose sleep because it was interesting and I didn't want to stop
working on it until I'd finished reading it. Regards, Kim.

HI Kim,
The kind of problem you describe often occurs when the zoom is set
inappropriately for the file. It's in the view menu and is entitled
"zoom". Try tabbing around in the zoom menu, and if it is at something
other than 75 or 100 per cent, change it to both of those until one of
them fixes the problem.
I'm almost positive the zoom being accurate will solve your problem.
Let us know how it goes.
Mayrie

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Discovering the style of a file
Hi, I'm proofreading a science fiction book and I want to know its
style. I'm having an interesting time proofreading this book so far as
my screen reader isn't always reading right to the end of the line. When
I reach the next line (or so I guess), what I hear doesn't always gibe
with what is apparently at the end (so called) of the previous line. I
want to know what could be the cause of this and how it can be
corrected. I tried changing the custom size of the page, but I'm
wondering if this based on something else? I'm not suffering from the
proliferating page break syndrome on this one (thank God for that!), but
I'm stymied about what is going on with the file and if there is
anything that can be done to correct it. The scan so far is great, but I
need help and am not sure what the problem might be here. Would the
style of the book or file detract from ease of proofreading? Regards,
Kim Friedman. P.S.: The book I'm working on is New Legends by Greg Bear.
K.
