Hi Netta,
One of the things you can do to help (not really fix) this is to eleminate
double spaces first:
In the find box, space, space (together, and just two)
In the replace box space (a single space) and keep hitting replace all until
there are no more replacements.
Then do the thing with the quotations. HTH!

Valerie;
I know but according to the print book, it is separated. I am fittling around
with something's as we speak. So far, I figured that 34 is for the quotation
mark and 32 is the space. I got an old file that was rejected with many of
these mistakes that Madeleine rejected because of the extra carriage returns
and I am using said file to figure this out. It is annoying to me is all,
having to inject the split myself (just becoming a pet peeve is all) and
according to my daughter who helps me with the sighted stuff, she says that the
dialogue is on separate lines (in all of the books I've proofed so far.)
*shrug* I'ma figure this thing out and will correct each instance I find
instead of doing a global replace.
Thanks for your help,
Netta
