I just add it to the list of find and replace once I'm pretty sure there aren't any tables. Speaking of, with a screen reader and using Word 2003 is there a way to tell if a document has a table in it?


Thanks,
Lori

Hi Debby,

Yes, please, do replace all tabs with spaces. Bookshare's tools also strip out all tabs. So, if we don't replace each tab with a space, the tools will
remove the tabs, leave nothing in their place, and cause text on a line
separated by tabs to become run together without any spaces.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Tab Characters in the Table of Contents

Hi everyone!

The book I am proofing now has tab characters just before each number of the
numbered chapters, right after the number of the chapter, and just before
the page number of the chapter unless it is the first character on a line,
so there is only the chapter number immediately after the tab character.
They are bumped up against whatever comes before or after them.  Should I
remove them and just put a space in their place?  It doesn't mess up the
formatting of the table of contents, in fact it is formatted perfectly with the tabs, but I have never seen them in a table of contents until this book.

Debby
