This is the kind of problem that makes me feel a bit sick and tempts me
to stop volunteering. I am very careful with my submissions. I scan them
two pages at a time and if the margins are too tight I will scan them
one page at a time. Before I go on to the next two pages I read over the
pages I have just scanned correcting any scannos or other problems I
come across and then I run a spell check on the same two pages. I do
leave a lot to the proofreader because I do not have the proper software
to do some of the proofreading chores, but I am fairly confident that
when the proofreader gets my submission it will be a pretty easy
proofing job. This means that I put a lot of work into my submissions
and I am rather slow to get them to the checkout list. Well, I just got
a notification that one of my submissions with well over 300 carefully
scanned pages cannot be added to the collection because so many
paragraph breaks are missing, especially in dialog and that it must be
rescanned. That was one thing that I did not notice and did not check
before submitting. I just looked at my copies of other scans and I have
a 396 page submission currently being proofread and another 400 page
book that I am close to finishing that may have the same problem. I am
not certain at all that I have the will to start all over on these
books. I am using Open Book 9 on a Windows 7 computer and I do not have
Word except for Word starter. Does anyone know if there is a good way to
fix this problem short of starting all over and does anyone know how to
prevent it in the future. Honestly, putting all that work in only to be
told that it has to be done all over again kind of makes a person want
to just give up.
