I sent an e-mail to the scanner. He verified that the SRT is indeed a Word
Perfect soft return and can be deleted. Currently there may be HRT
indications also, which need to be handled as true page breaks. I'll check
with Google or Amazon just to make sure that it would look okay without the
SRT, but I think I'm ready to rock 'n roll. Thanks.

This may be a rather far out idea, but I recall that srt was the
abbreviation WordPerfect used for soft return when you hit Reveal Codes back
when I was using pre-Windows versions of that software. Maybe, if the person
scanned the book in some native word processor format, not necessarily
WordPerfect, then translated that format into rtf, those codes got placed in
the text of the file instead of being hidden as they normally are.

Hi John,
I have no idea what it means, but what about contacting the scanner to
find out whether it is a scanno or part of the text before you do anything
with it? HTH!

The book that I am currently proofing is liberally sprinkled with '[SRT]' in
the text. It doesn't seem to affect the meaning nor to represent punctuation
of any kind. It will be easy to globally replace. I am just curious about
where it came from and what it means. Thanks.
