Jerald and jake,
For those stuck with Word Pad, isn't there a free open source Word type
program, I though possible as part of Open Office.
If so we should explore it, as an editing option.
I vaguely heard about it once, but promptly forgot what I had learned, so if
someone knows what I am talking about well... smile.

Matthew,
You need to find another program to do your validations in. WordPad is
responsible for the lost section breaks. It appears to discard them when
opening the file, so as long as you're validating Carrie's books in WordPad,
they will be kicked back due to no page breaks. You might be safe doing
books submitted by others, but I wouldn't chance it since I didn't see a way
to determine if the book has page breaks or not. I did verify that WordPad
doesn't discard them, though. Still, you need a way to determine whether or
not they are there in the first place.
BTW, Carrie's message about ^b and ^m was instructions about how to convert
section breaks to page breaks in Word using a global search and replace. I
tried to see if the section breaks were in the file and if WordPad would
convert them to page breaks before saving the file, but it doesn't appear to
support replacing the format characters the way Word does, or they just
aren't there in the first place due to WordPad discarding them when the file
is opened. I suspect both.

Hello, I only have Wordpad, so I didn't see any caret symbols. I corrected
some scanning errors, such as a few words which ran together, as well as a
few letter I's which were picked up as 1's. Does this mean that the
corrections were all for naught? I enjoyed reading the book, and still have
my corrected file, but I don't want to go back and read the whole book to
fix those few errors, and couldn't point a new validator to each correction.
At the start of the book, there were the words a very, which ran together,
and I think it picked up a the wrong.
Thanks a lot.
Matthew
