Dan,
Don't know if this is a "general tip" for the other merit badge books, but
I
need some help with what to do. First, the book I'm validating,
Computers,
has no copyright page and no copyright date. I know it's copyrighted by
the
Boy Scouts of America, but don't know what date. I'm assuming this year
but
I don't know. If this has been covered, I'm sorry, but I'm just curious.
A
Lso, extra line breaks are in the books i.e. extra paragraph breaks.
There's no double line to end a paragraph, so I can't just do a search and
replace. The books therefore may, because of this, read choppily using
speech and look weird in Braille. Has anyone else seen this and is this
an
issue?
All the best and thanks for any help you can give.
Noel

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] general merit badge booklet tips
Hi all,
For those who are interested in validating the merit badge booklets I
thought I would give a couple of tips that might make it easier.
We have discovered that these booklets are strange in some of their
formatting. For example, most of the initial pages do not have page
nmbers.
However, the actual instructive content begins on the page relative to the
begining of the paper pages. By this I mean that if the contents is on
the
11th page of the booklet for example, then the instructive content starts
on
page 18. Pages prior to the contents are not generally numbered. Often
the
contents page is not numbered.
Also, it appears that all of the booklets have some blank pages and some
pages with nothing but illustrations on them. These pages are not
numbered.
However, the page numbering skips a number for these pages and continues
on
the next page number.
As I said, sort of strange.
I will post other tips here as they occur to us.
