If there is, as there is supposed to be, a paragraph symbol at the end of a
paragraph, the next paragraph is properly indicated. To indicate several blank
lines between paragraphs or sections (or text and pictures or any such thing we
are, I think (unless matters have changed) supposed to put 3 asterisks.

they existed in the scan along with the blank line between page on the text and
the page number. Blank lines between paragraphs won't hurt anything
either.

>Dear Kathy,
>I don't know if you have Microsoft Word, but here are steps to remove line
breaks.
>1. Press control plus h in Word to activate the find and replace
dialogue.
>2. Type the caret symbol (shift plus 6) followed by the letter p folled by
the letter a. Caret p represents a paragraph mark. Make sure that the a is
lower
case.

>4. Tab until you get to the "more" or "more options" button and activate
it.
>5. Tab to the box that says ignore case and uncheck it.
>6. Tab to replace all or press alt a.
>7. Continue to do this with each letter of the alphabet. Type caret p b in
find and space b in the replace box. Continue to do this with each letter. Once
you have caret p already written in the find box, you can just backspace once
to
get rid of the letter with the line break you replaced and then type in the
next
letter in the sequence.

>I am not certain of the menu structure in Openbook 7. You want to look for
the general or settings menu that is on the top by bringing up the menu bar and
then pressing right arrow until you get to it. Otherwise, pressing alt g may
work. Go to the scanner settings options in the menu. There will be two tabs
with different options in each one. Press control tab to move between the
denfferent tabs. And of course, press tab to move between the different options
in each tab. I'm sorry if it doesn't make sense, but I can't think of the
correct terminology. You want to make sure that the option to keep exact view
is
checked. Uncheck the option to preserve line breaks.
>If you have trouble finding and removing line breaks, your proof reader
should be able to fix them for you. I have not done this in OpenBook, so I
can't
give you steps for removing line breaks that way. You do not want to remove
legitimate paragraph marks. That's why it is important to use only lower case
letters in the find and replace dialoogues. Also remember that Openbook's
default file format is OBX, so you will want to go to save as, and in the file
types tab, choose RTF.

>As far as Outlook express attachments, there are several ways of viewing
them. When you are in the message body, pressing insert a will bring up the
list
of attachments. Pressing enter will bring up a dialogue asking if you want to
open the file. There may also be an option to save. If not, go to the file menu
and look for the save attachments option. Save the file to a place where you
will be able to locate it on your hard drive. Once you are in a message,
instead
of pressing insert a, you can press tab to get to the attachments list. If you
have the preview pane turned on, you will not necessarily need to open the
message that contains the attachment you wish to view. Just press alt f and go
down to save attacht. The preview pane allows one to see message contents
before
opening the actual message. If you haven't changed default settings in Outlook
Express the preview pane should still be enabled.
