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.

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)
text
OK 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.
