Hi There,
Judy can probably explain it better, since I think she's more of a word
expert than I am, but it's an option on the page layout tab that allows you
to set tabs and line spacing for a document. When you do this the paragraphs
are all in the same style throughout the text.
Sounds like the book has funky paragraph styling though, so this might not
help.
In a couple of books I scanned, I ended up with a letter on each line for a
couple pages and changing the paragraph styles got the text back to normal.
Best,
--Katherine

line breaks
Hello Katherine:
This is Aidee. I'm sorry for my lapse in Word knowledge, but I'm not sure
what "paragraph styles" is. (smile) I did all the normalization steps
recommended in the volunteer manual on the file before actually starting to
go through it line by line, which is when I noticed these vertical tabs, so
I couldn't really say if it would fix the (potential) issue or not.

Wouldn't paragraph styles fix that as well without removing them
individually?

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] question about conversion process effect on line
breaks
Hello All:
This is Aidee, one of the proofreaders. I have a (hopefully) quick question
about the conversion process. Does anyone know if the conversion process
removes line breaks? I am working on a book that apparently has a lot of
them, and it would save me a lot of trouble if I didn't have to worry about
removing these. This is what a snippet of the book looks like before I
remove said line breaks (which JAWS calls "vertical tabs").
Instead, her eyes were brown-lovely, dreamy... melted chocolate
brown? Rabbit fur brown?
I would really appreciate any help with this, so if any of you know if this
is something I can ignore (or should pay attention to), that would be
wonderful.
Thank you so much for all your time and help.
