Hi Debby, Yes, the white space I was talking about was the existence of many blank lines. They sometimes cause problems. I'm glad you haven't had any problems with them.

Are we talking about books with many blank lines in the file at the end of a chapter, or is this white space something else? I have proofread a few books with many blank lines which I have deleted. These blank lines did not knock the page count out of whack, so I suspect something else is being talked about. Thanks for any clarification.
