I read Kristen's post and the following posts. Kriste, f you submit your
scan with a note that it will need a sighted proofreader because of the
font problem,you will still get credit for being the scanner. The proofer
will fix the fonts and anything else that might need fixing that maybe you
can't identify (e.g., paragraph marks that might be missing where they
belong, like between speakers, or don't,l ike at the ends of lines

Hello Kristen:
As Madeleine said, we can't send each other whole book files; the
parts where font is important are the title page (the page with the
title and author's name on it), and the first page of each chapter
and/or section-if your book has sections and chapters. The BrailleNote
generally keeps text at 12 points Times New Roman, which is a good
font and size for most sighted people.
If you don't have access to a computer with Word and a screenreader, I
would be happy to help you out. I would also be happy to help you out
if you need assistance in figuring out how to work with Word. Either
way, contact me off of the list.
Hope that helps.

Hi, Kristen! The easiest way to do this is probably going to be movingthe
proofread file to your computer and finishing up in Word. You can dobook
searches for the word Chapter and go from there. Then just upload the
from your computer. Hope this helps!Linares

Hi Kristen,
Legally we can't email entire book files. However, you could email
the pages where the font sizes need to be changed (the title page, pagesthem
with new chapters, etc.). They could email them back and you could add
in.BrailleNote
Best,
Madeleine

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Formatting Assistance
Hi-
I just signed up to proofread for Bookshare. I will be using a
that, as far as I know, allows me to view/modify all elements offormatting
except for font size.I
I asked Madeleine how I could ensure that font size is adjusted to the
proper requirements and still submit professional, proofread books since
cannot see font. She recommended that I reach out to other scanners andmake
proofreaders to see if there is anyone who would be willing to assist me
with this by adjusting the font to the appropriate sizes for me before I
submit a book.
I could e-mail someone the proofread book, if they would be willing to
these adjustments with formatting and send it back to me to submit undermy
name.of
Please let me know if anyone would be interested in helping, and if so,
provide your e-mail in the response. It would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much!
