Dear Bookshare Friends,
I can hear you now. "oh no. Not another one." Sorry, but it is the question
you've heard over and over and I'm still perplexed.
I've just finished validating a long book, nearly 500 pages. The biggest
challenge was to make the format uniform.
After reviewing my saved Bookshare advice files, I'm still worried about
uploading the book.
I'm concerned about page numbers. I still don't understand how the stripper
works. As the rich text file edited with microsoft word using jaws and windows
XP, I began each page as follows,
Jaws says page break
Jaws says the page in a low voice at the beginning of the page where I have
done the following
line 1 is blank line jaws says blank
line 2. Page number at beginning of next line - jaws says the number
line 3 blank line, jaws says blank
4th line text begins, Jaws begins reading.
Also, I left one blank line at the end of each page.
In one of the messages I reviewed, Jake seemed to be saying to Cindy that if
she had two lines of writing together followed by a blank line and then text,
the stripper would ignore it.
should I put a star on the line directly above the page number, or three dashes
so I'll have 2 lines of text together where I want the page number to be?.
Should it be, line 1, blank, 2, star or dashes, 3 the number 4 blank and 5 the
text? Should I leave one blank line at the bottom of each page or more? I don't
want to add extra characters for a braille reader to have to skim over or a
listener to hear again and again unless they help keep the page numbers in tact.
I'm sorry to rehash this.
Always With Love,
Lissi
