A blank line is actually a paragraph mark. If your screen reader is reading blank line it is reading paragraph marks. It is not necessary to delete any extraneous blank lines. The Bookshare automatic tools do that when the final proofread book is uploaded anyway. Just be sure that there is a blank line where one is supposed to be. Again, the format of a page should be page break, blank line, page number, blank line, text of the page, blank line, page break. If any of those blank lines are doubled, tripled, quadrupled or even more then that is okay.

Blank Hello one more time;How do I get JAWS to say paragraphs marks? And can someone please tell me what they are. LOL This goes back to the book I am proofing. I just "saw" on one of the pages where there is not a blank line after the page numbers and the text is next:blank line page number text And on another page it goes like this: page number blank line blank line blank line (and probably a few more blank lines) textOK question, if I follow the correct format and then delete all of those blank lines, would this "mess up" anything (like paragraphs marks, etc...) I think this is what happened with 2 books that were rejected before, I deleted paragraph marks and other essentials needed. I hope that I made sense in this email, if not please let me know and I'll try explaining again.Netta "Just because you are blind does not mean you lack vision"-Stevie Wonder
