Yes, still here! (smiles). I began validating a couple of books that were
TXT. In fact, I think they were books that Shelley scanned. Anyway, I
began removing hyphens at the end of lines and when I tried to exit Word it
told me that there was formatting incompatible with Word (paraphrasing
here). Anyway, there was good protection of the text, page numbers, and
chapter titles so I just didn't want to reck the books. Can someone tell me
how with Word I could have finished validating these books? Does changing it
to RTF change the page breaks? Do the page breaks disappear? Still confused
on this page break thing but knew they were there. Somewhere in my reading
of emails I understood we could validate TXT and send them up as TXT. Can
someone help me here, please? Thanks beforehand as I may not be on here for
the next couple of days as much as I wish I could be.

Hi rose,
I know about reading for pleasure. There is so much I want to read but have
been enjoying reading Eaters Of The Dead. It has turned out to be a great
book:) I will be uploading it for release over the next couple of days:)

Yes, I know how to do that in word, but, I had a brain freeze a while ago and made a mess of it, but then, I still have the original to work with, maybe tomorrow.
For now, I think I am going to read for pleasure for a while.

You could do one of two things. If the words should not be hyphenated, you can globally replace (replace All) hyphen tab with nothing. That should close up all those words. The hyphen and the tab can be found if you click More and then Special and scroll up, at least on my Word. If you're using something else like K1000, ask here and someone will tell you what to do. If you want to keep the hyphens, replace hyphen tab with just hyphen.

OK, this is strange. I started a spell check on this book and every hyphen is followed by a tab character. This does not look fun.

I have a medical spell checker on my computer. My job is in the medical field and so I figured I'd be familiar with the terminology and also I have the ability to spell check, K1000 does not have a medical spell checker and that is annoying for me since all the stuff I have scanned in the past several months is definitely loaded with medical terms.

What about a spell check? If there are a lot of medical terms, that may not help. If you take the .rtf file into Kurzweil and perform a ranked spelling, maybe that'll help, if you're not going to read the whole thing. That'll
help give you a quicker glimpse of whether anything
really should be
fixed
or not. As far as hyphens go, unless they're
compound words that are
supposed to be hyphenated, the common consensus, I
believe, is to put
them
together, but with that large of a book, there's
little wonder that you
wouldn't want to read the whole thing! Take care.

Yeah, I hate house work.
Question, I am validating a larger project than I'd planned, Physical Examination for Health Assessment. All the copyright info is most definitely present.
I converted this doc file to RTF immediately.
My question is this, there are a lot of hyphenated words, and the hyphens appear to be properly placed, my guess they were done by the publisher, or else the submitter (no name shown) did a good job, I should leave these alone? It would read better aloud without them, but, this is about a 900 page document, I am not really inclined to remove them all.
Any opinions? This book had a fair rating, although in the first few pages, I have not found anything other than those hyphens that could be questionable.

That is an excellent analogy. I laughed, thinking of my house. I spend much more time cleaning up books for bookshare than I do on my house. smiling embarrassedly.
