It is one I am proofing, Esther F scanned it in Braille, I think. If it was
mine, I would just do it over. Smiles. I could reject, but I have invested
so much already I feel like plugging along. I am taking a break tonight and
working on proofing a Cherry Ames, and will return to it tomorrow. Several
of the suggestions did not play out, but I am no further behind at this
point. If it was a longer book I would not tackle it, but it is only 182
pages.

Wow, what a task! Good luck, Valerie! Is this one you scanned and I'll be
proofing or is it one you are proofing?

Unfortunately there were not; it was all continuous text with single
paragraph marks at the end lines, not even any hard page breaks when I got
it. Oh, well, tackle tonight. Smiles.

What I do when there is a paragraph marker (line break) after every line, IF
there is a double paragraph marker where the paragraphs go, is replace all
^p^p with qqq. Then I replace all single ^p with a space. Then I go back and
replace the qqq with a ^p to get the paragraphs back. Then finally I replace
the ^m with a ^p^m^p to make sure there is a blank line before and after all
page breaks.
This ONLY works IF the paragraphs are indicated by two paragraph markers
(^p^p). If not it will not work. But I've found where there is a line break
(single ^p) at the end of every line, usually there is a double paragraph
marker at the paragraphs.
