Dear Mayrie,

That was so FANTASTIC!  That absolutely perfectly
answered my questions, and so clearly!  Thank you
oh so much!  I'll be validating even faster now!

Hi Marilyn,
The answer to your indentation question is that yes, all indentations will be deleted. So, you needn't bother deleting them yourself.
As to your question about blank lines, here is what is preferred on a page: 

If page numbers are at the top
page break
blank line
page number
blank line
text on the page
blank line
page break

If page numbers are at the bottom:
page break
blank line
text on the page
blank line
page number
blank line
page break
In case this might help, and you haven't heard or used this trick before, there is a simple way to insert blank lines before and after each page break when using Microsoft Word. In the find and replace dialogue, type ^m in the find box. In the replace box type ^p^m^p and then do a replace all. This keeps you from having to insert blank lines around page breaks by hand.
This format is preferred because it offers the best results in the html files produced by bookshare, if I remember correctly the reason that I do this with every book. 

Hope all that helps some.

Peace,
Mayrie

Hi, All.

It says on the Volunteer home page that if you have
any questions or concerns, you can write to the
address below.  So far, I've received no response
from them, and just today Uploaded another book
with the same experience described below.  Can
anyone enlighten me?

Many thanks,
Marilyn

Subject: A Question or Two



Hi.  I'm a fairly new sighted volunteer and I just
uploaded my fourth or fifth book.  There's something
that I was doing during the last book that I think I was
just wasting my time with, and I wanted to make sure.
I learned from the volunteer discussion list that extra
blank lines between paragraphs are deleted by the
system, so I stopped putting them in a long time ago.
I also learned that if I put a Tab in at the beginning of
a new paragraph, that Tab gets deleted, so I stopped
putting that in, too.  This confused <me> because
I couldn't see the new paragraphs, so I put in a half-inch
First Line Indent (working in Word) so the first line
of every paragraph is automatically indented a half inch.
This helps me a lot, but what it also does is put an
indent before the page numbers, so I have to delete
it on the blank line before the page number, the line with the
page number, and the blank line after the page number.
Are these First Line Indents also deleted by the system,
so I don't have to bother deleting them?
Another question:  Do I have to leave a blank line
at the top of every page (assuming the page number is
at the bottom)?  Or can it just be "Page Break" and
then immediately start with the text?  And vice versa
with a blank line at the bottom of the page (if the
page number is at the top).
Thank you, really, very much.
