I just press the enter key before and after each page break as I come to them. It won't hurt if you have more than one blank line. The Bookshare tools will automatically delete blank lines anyway. The point in placing them there is so that nothing else gets deleted too.

Hi Reggie and all,Thanks very much, Reggie! I'm glad I'm not the first to have this question. *smiles* I'm trying to commit as much as possible to memory now, to save myself tons of re-reading later. LOL Oh, I do love my reading hole, too! Sometimes I have to remember to crawl out long enough to work, eat, etc. Such an inconvenience. LOL Okay, another quick newbie question before I proceed here. This one regards page breaks. In one section of the manual, (Mayrie's very comprehensive section on proofing using Kurzweil), she mentions having blank lines around each page break, and the method of making sure this is done. Find and replace, ^m, and replace all with ^p^m^p. But when I tried this, it threw off my pages by a lot. Contents from one page ended up on another, etc, etc. Is this still a necessary step, and if so, where's my mistake here? I feel like I'm missing (or misunderstanding) something really obvious. LOL Hope to have this done by sometimes tomorrow. Thank you Anastasia S for an excellent scan! Thanks as always, everyone! I'm getting the hang of this, and really appreciate everyone's kindness and patience!Warmest, Kim *From:* Regina Alvarado <mailto:regina.alvarado6@xxxxxxxxx> *Sent:* Thursday, March 15, 2012 6:40 PM *To:* bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> *Subject:* [bksvol-discuss] Re: font QuestionExactly Kim. I change my whole book to the font and 12-point. Then I go back and enlarge book title to 16-point or larger depending on whether there are chapters and numbers and still other titles I want to make larger within the chapter. (I know there is a name for those, but this fossil's brain is having a moment, smiles.) Remember also that you can put Chapter in front of one or 1 to help the reader. Now I'll go back to my reading hole, which I crawl out of every now and then to ask a question or answer a question such as this one which I had to get help with too! Hope this helps!Reggie*From:* bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] *On Behalf Of *Kim Loftis*Sent:* Wednesday, March 14, 2012 4:24 PM *To:* bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx *Subject:* [bksvol-discuss] font Question Hi All,Well, I'm just about to begin proofing my first Bookshare book! *gulps* Before I did it, I wanted to familiarize myself with the steps, and, as much as possible, get comfortable with them. I know practice and the routine of doing them over and over for books will make it easier. Hahaha. Hopefully after successfully completing this one, I won't feel so daunted. *sheepish grin* My question is about the font. This particular book has a font that my Word 2003 doesn't have installed, so it said it would show me the closest font available. I understand that Times New Roman is an easy font to read, and know from the documentation that it's a recommended font. I already know that I can't change text. But is it okay to change the type of font. In other words, could I select the entire content of the rtf, change it to times new roman 12 point, and then change the size of particular chapter titles, book title, etc, as required?Any info is very much appreciated! Thanks much!
