Hi E.
The start of this thread was that very posting today.
So, you should have gotten it today, again.

We braille raders thank you for removing those unwanted line breaks
which come up in the middle of sentences or other places where they
ought not to be. Having them there makes braille reading less
pleasant. Again thank you.
If somebody remembers the steps to remove those line breaks, please
re-post it particularly if it works in Kurzweil.
