Lisa:
Sorry again for the delay! I watch for the line space markers. If I am
starting a page, there should be a page break marker, ed sign-f and then the
number after it, if they are not at the bottom. There should be then an
enter marker 4-5-6-ed I think. (Do this so automatically, hard to transfer
into print, sorry.) Then the title of the chapter and then another enter
marker 4-5-6-ed. Then starts the text. Sometimes I leave an extra enter
marker between the number and the chapter name, but I don't think it is
necessary. At the bottom after the last word, if it is not hyphenated in
which case I bring the end of the word from the next page and finish the
word, there should then be 2 enter marks and then the number if the number
is there and then the page break again. At least this is how I do it.
Sometimes I will put an extra enter marker after the bottom number, but all
this I make the same on each page. I also don't think this is necessary
either, just what I see the scanner has done or how I feel. Usually the
stripper will take out any unnecessary lines. All my formatting I do in
Word with the numbers agreed upon before with 16-point for chapters.
The current book I am proofing has stars before in-chapter headings which I
find extremely helpful as I will be able to search on the computer for them
when formatting. I do not put anything between name of chapter and first
line of text. Just my preference.

Hi Reggie,
What do you do about doing formatting that you cannot locate easily? Like
right now, I am proofing a book that does not have numbered chapters, only
named ones.
Thanks,
Lisa

Only thing is Ann that my mPower will just not recognize .rtf files. I wish
it would, oh how I wish it would! When I open it, all I see if something
that looks like edlege with a line of hyphens under it, and no matter how
much I tap the thumb keys I get nothing more. If I change to .doc, it
opens. Go Figure! Anyone else have an mPower? I really want to open in
.rtf. Would absolutely save me a step.

Hi all,
Psst, Psst, secret, come close and listen! The ".doc" files on your
computer are actually.RTF files unless they are from somewhere other than
your BrailleNote. So, if you work with the file as it comes down
from Bookshare, you don't have to convert it to anything at all. It's
already an RTF file, and the .doc conversion is just saving it as RTF, so
you could just leave the file as is.
