Newbie question from this discussion. I'm validating my first book.
Within each paragraph there is no hard return. But between each
paragraph there is a double hard return and no indenting. And there is
dialogue that is a single sentence, double hard return, another sentence
or two, double hard return, etc.
Please offer advice about what I should do with the double hard returns?
I don't know how to find out how many of them there are, but I guess it
is also in the thousands, not as many as Noel found, but lots.
Thanks for your expertise. I am solving things one at a time and because
I personally love this book that I'm validating, I am enjoying the
process.

I submitted this book. I really am not sure what you
are talking about. On my screen there isn't a problem
with breaks or short spacing. Each paragraph is
separated with a space instead of indenting...Is that
a problem? The majority of books that I have
downloaded has this format...I submitted it in
RTF...Should I be doing something differently???
