Is this important for .rtf files. I never thought about it. Doesn't the
Braille translator take care of this when it sees a hard return? But if I
save books in .rtf files, I get no indenting, but I don't think I get any
tabs either. I do bring the books into word to make sure the page breaks
are where they should be, since Wordpad doesn't seem to show them, but I
didn't look for tabs or try to eliminate them. I used to do this indenting
when I had WordPerfect. I would search and replace each hard return tab
combination with a hard return tab and two spaces so it would look more
natural when I read books on a Braille display. Do I need to do this for
the .rtf files I submit or validate? I didn't think about it on the last
book I scanned or the last one I validated.
Thanks.
Right. I've found under Formatting that I can set First lines to indent however many spaces I want. The dfault is .5, but I use .3. That eliminates both tabs and the space bar.
By volunteering for bookshare I'm constantly learning more about how to use Word. I wish I'd known some of them sooner so the earlier books I uploaded were better from a formatting point of view.

Someone on this list recently said that tabs are somehow lost in Bookshare's conversion process. If that's the case, it won't work to indent paragraphs with tabs.
