Hi Caitlyn,
Yes, you are right about that leaving a bunch of blank lines. But in this
instance, we can be thankful for Bookshare's tools and the infamous stripper
in particular. Once you upload your validated book, the Bookshare tools,
while converting the file to daisy format will take out all extra blank
lines. So, you won't have to do it.

Umm.. Wouldn't that just leave the text of the page previous to the one you
are on, then a bunch of blank lines until the next page break?

Deleting page breaks in K1000 is easy. Just hit control shift enter, and the
page you're on is merged with the page above. In other words, control shift
enter deletes the page break above where you are.
