Hi Cindy,
Yes, there is a way to remove bolding. I do it with a screen reader though so I
don't know the mouse instructions off the top of my head. I once got some
visual instructions from Liz Halperin though that I could post. I'll ask Liz if
she's okay with me posting them here. I'll write her and let you know.
HTH,
Allison

Oh. Allison, is there is a way of removing only Bold words in the text that
don't belong I'd like to know it. I had a book returned to me because there
were such words. (another instance where I had assumed the scanner was correct;
It didn't occur to me to check the print book to see if they belonged Now as I
check the pagination I carefully look at each page to see if there are Bold
words I may have missedas I proofread.
