Hi E.
I'm not sure what this message has to do with Ann and Roger's posts
about their beliefs, but bookshare does not require that extra line breaks
be removed. The stripper will actually do that. However, I do remove them,
and can do this without using my braille display, or a printout that I
couldn't read anyway, laugh. I'll explain how to do this using either
Kurzweil 1000 or Microsoft word if someone needs me to. But it isn't
required to remove extra line breaks. I do, however, remove them as a
matter of course.
Oh, well, I may as well just give instructions for how I do this
here. Then no one need ask again.
First, using Kurzweil 1000 I use the find and replace dialogue to
remove extra line breaks.
In the find box type \n five times
In the replace box type \n two times
Hit replace all.
This will replace all instances of five uninterrupted paragraph marks, or
five blank lines with two paragraph marks, which creates one blank line at
that point in the text.
Next I do the find and replace always with \n twice in the replace box, butI
alter the find box to first contain four of this character string, then
again with three of this character string.
What you achieve by doing this is to remove vast amounts of white space in
your book, but always leave a blank line where such white space existed, as
some white space was probably expected there.
Sorry if this has been less than brilliantly explained. If I need
to give better instructions, please ask and I'll do better.
When using Microsoft word's find and replace dialogue the character
string that you want to use is ^p in the same way that I described above.
There is another way in Word to deal with white space, but I don't remember
it, and this one does work.
Sorry for the long message.
Mayrie

A validator needs to remove extraneous line breaks. I do not know how
one would do that without a braille display or print read out.
