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.

Hi Mayrie and everyone!

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.

Debby
