To clarify--a soft page break is what Word (I don't
know about things like JAWS or Wordpad or whatever
other technology is used) automatically puts in when
it comes to the end of a page that has been created,
and that depends on how the margins are set. So if
Word puts in a soft break after a certain number of
lines and line spaces, it many *not* agree with the
end of the page in the book that is beeing
scanned/validated.
A hard break is what you put in after the text (and
line space and page number, and I put another line
space if the number is at the bottom instead of at the
top of the page). In Word, I create a hard break by
hitting Shift and Enter simultaneously, but that's in
Word on my Mac. I do remember seeing someone else say
that that is the way they make hard breaks, too.
Tom, unfortunately, if you just replace the soft
breaks with the hard breaks, they won't necessarily be
where the page in the book ends, and the reason
bookshare isn't accepting books without page breaks is
because they want people wo be able to read the
bookshare books as sighted readers read books, insofar
as the pages go.
I can understand that you wouldn't want to to redo the
breaks. If you'll submit the book and tell me what it
is, I'll download it and validate it, unless someone
else wants to, and I'll correct page breaks if
necessary--depending on what the book is, I must add.
