Julia, keeping layout information turned on in Kurzweil is a good thing.
It
can help you if you ever want to use summary mode or understand how pages
of
content from a book are laid out. In most cases, Kurzweil does insert
paragraph marks where they should be. Speech reads them as a new line in
the
text. It has no affect on paragraph marks in your books. most of us can't
see your paragraph marks, and Bookshare removes extra ones from your rtf
file to make the daisy and Braille files. Unless your files are one big
run-on sentence spanning the whole 200 pages of a book, or if you have a
book with only two words on each line, don't worry about it. If you know
you're going to have a sighted proofreader, you can take the time to
remove
extra paragraph markers yourself. Otherwise, I don't do it because
Bookshare
does it automatically. Why spend 20 to 30 minutes doing something
Bookshare
will do in a matter of seconds? I see that as wasting time I could be
spending on scanning another book.

Oh no! Don't tell me all of my books are messed up now! I scanned with
page
layout info retained, is that a problem? Does that mean that they're now
chalk full of paragraph marks! How on earth do I fix all those!
