Amy,
If you can submit it in rtf I can format poetry as the
author intended.
Before I used tabs, but quite a bit after that we were
told that tabs don't do any good. Too bad, because
that was so easy. However, there is a way, though it
takes longer, to re-set the line margin. I'd use the
space bar, which would be easier, but somebody
mentioned that the spaces are annoying. Is that just
for those of you who listen, or also for those of you
who use braille? Is there a way you can turn off
whatever is annoying about the spaces? Using spaces to
indent lines of poetry would be so much easier, less
time-consuming, than using the line setting. smile

amen. I looked for Kipling and there was only one

what turned out to be the complete kipling but then
had to deal with people
reading poetry with no real knowledge of how to do
it and with difficulty
pronouncing some of the Names and names of places -
understandable if you
are not familiar with India or 19th Century British
army terminology. Though
even today I would guess it would not be hard to
find kids who have read the
poetry in The Jungle Books or the Just So Stories or
their parents, too. I
appreciate the work rfb volunteers went through to
record that tome but I
wanted the poems as he wrote them so I scanned the
book with Kurzweil and am
now trying to make sure the poems scan properly
(scan as in lines as K wrote
them of the length he wanted them). I may have to
submith the Kurzweil
copy which scan (copied) the pages correctly but
they don't always come out
that way and I was warned that theBookshare computer
would ignore the lines
much as they did in other books of poetry I have
gotten but I can only try
to get someone to realize the importanct of the
lines. However, I have hopes
even If I cannot do it. In any event it has to be
better, even with a
computer voice, that what I heard. in the well meant
recording.
