Everything on the left is fine. I'm sighted so I have paragraphs indented in order to be able to skim down the left side and see where there are indents in the middle of sentences. I'm pretty sure the tools that convert the rtf files to DAISY or brf files ignore most of the formatting instructions that Word uses.


Way down in the computer bits that a Word document is actually made of, the paragraph break is just a particular character that is not a letter or number or regular symbol. When your screen reader comes across one of those it pauses as though it were at the end of a paragraph. If one of those comes in the middle of a sentence the screen reader pauses there even though the writer didn't intend that to be the end of a paragraph.

Hey Netta and all, Thanks Netta for your awesome instructions sheet
you sent me off list.  But now, I have another question, please, if
you guys don't mind?  Well, what about the indent??  Isn't indent when
things are not at the left side?  Isn't it what you guys call
paragraph breaks?  OMG!!!!!  I hope I did the right fixing for another
book.....  I didn't check it in yet, thank goodness!!!!!  I can still
fix it if I am doing wrong.  So, are the text supposed to be indented?
  I thought everything had to be at the left?  Isn't it?  Thanks!!!
