Hi, Mayrie.
Thanks for the info.
So, one paragraph mark is just a new line but not a blank one then? And two
are an actual blank line?
Think I've got it now.
Thanks.
Christina

Hi Christina,
It is not necessary to have two paragraph markers in a row. You are
right that two in a row creats a blank line between lines of text.
Not all books use a blank line between paragraphs. In fact, I think that
most don't. Generally, I think that a blank line between blocks of text is
reserved for scene changes denoted by white space, or between the running
header and the text on the page, or the chapter heading and the text on the
page.
To answer your question directly, no, we do not need to have blank lines
between paragraphs in scans for bookshare.
Perhaps Judy and Valerie, and Cindy can comment on what they see in books and
on their screens when proofreading scanned books regarding paragraph marks if
it is different from my experience. They deal with printed text every day in
its book format so would know best what they encounter.
I can tell you that scans done with Open Book are more likely, in my
experience, to have blank lines, or two paragraph marks between paragraphs than
any other scanning and OCR software whose scans I've proofread.

Hi, guys.
I'm confused about something.
In Word, is there a need for two ^p's I.E. paragraph markers in a row? I
know they're in the print copies but do we need them in our scans/proofread
copies?
When there are two in a row, it just looks like a blank line to me.
So, my question is, how are two different from one?
Thanks.
Christina
