Hi Sarah,
It's great to have you with us! Please feel free to ask any questions you
might have!
I can't tell you how grateful I am for our Mac-using volunteers! I suspect
they will be invaluable to you!

I'll try that at home. also I'm trying to make everyting perfect or as
perfect as it will get. I hope I can finish the book in now 12 days. Maybe
if I work on it a bit I can do that.
Does anyone know if the special chars thing is accessible wiht vo? if not
I'll memorise the keystrokes and go with that. the last time I did that on
the sample document I ended up with a mess. lol!
Tc all and I don't give up! not easilly anyway.

When the Find-replace box opens, at the bottom on the right-hand side there

I hope this is helpful and not confusing

HI Sarah,
I hope that one of our Mac users can help you out. But I want to stress
that you do not want to get rid of page breaks. You do, however, want to
get rid of section breaks if they exist in your file, and replace them with
page breaks. A book without page breaks is a book very likely destined not
to be added to the Bookshare collection. I know that all of the terminology
is confusing, so with any luck, you meant to say that you want to delete
section breaks, or more accurately to replace them with page breaks.
I'm sorry, I have absolutely no Mac experience, and can't help with the
specifics of that.
Mayrie

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] intro and a few questions
Hello. I'm very very new to the volunteer process. I have a few questions.
I read the sample document and the instructions but I am on a mac running
is10 lion. How am I to strip all the page breaks out using text edit and I
forgot what else I need to do. Maybe I should not have chosen a 90 page gook
for my first task lol! I'm in college and want to try and do this as time
permits so I won't give up but thats my first question is how do I remove
all page breaks with out looking for them in text edit?
thanks all and I hope to do you guys good.
Btw I'm visually impaired myself.
