Hi Mayrie,
I did not know about the process of preserving blank lines between paragraphs. 
Thank you. What does the % represent?

Chanelle

Hi Chanelle and Kathy,

Chanelle's instructions are exactly those I was going to give Thanks Chanelle!

I have one more thing to add.  If you wish not to lose instances where 
paragraphs are separated by a blank line, or the separation of page numbers 
from the text by a blank line, you might do this before Chanelle's steps.

Place your cursor at the top of the document
Open the find and replace dialogue by pressing control+h
In the find box type ^p^p
In the replace box type %%%
Tab to replace all and hit enter.
Now do the steps that Chanelle suggests.
Once done with those steps, return to the top of your document.
Open find and replace again if the dialogue is now closed.
In the find box type %%%
In the replace box type ^p^p
Tab to "replace all" and hit enter.

This added few steps will preserve single instances of a blank line between 
paragraphs or between the page number and text on the page.

Happy scanning and proofreading!

Mayrie

Dear Kathy,
I don't know if you have Microsoft Word, but here are steps to remove line 
breaks.
1. Press control plus h in Word to activate the find and replace dialogue.
2. Type the caret symbol (shift plus 6) followed by the letter p folled by the 
letter a. Caret p represents a paragraph mark. Make sure that the a is lower 
case.
3. Tab to the replace box and type a space followed by the letter a.
4. Tab until you get to the "more" or "more options" button and activate it.
5. Tab to the box that says ignore case and uncheck it.
6. Tab to replace all or press alt a.
7. Continue to do this with each letter of the alphabet. Type caret p b in find 
and space b in the replace box. Continue to do this with each letter. Once you 
have caret p already written in the find box, you can just backspace once to 
get rid of the letter with the line break you replaced and then type in the 
next letter in the sequence.


I am not certain of the menu structure in Openbook 7. You want to look for the 
general or settings menu that is on the top by bringing up the menu bar and 
then pressing right arrow until you get to it. Otherwise, pressing alt g may 
work. Go to the scanner settings options in the menu. There will be two tabs 
with different options in each one. Press control tab to move between the 
denfferent tabs. And of course, press tab to move between the different options 
in each tab. I'm sorry if it doesn't make sense, but I can't think of the 
correct terminology. You want to make sure that the option to keep exact view 
is checked. Uncheck the option to preserve line breaks.
If you have trouble finding and removing line breaks, your proof reader should 
be able to fix them for you. I have not done this in OpenBook, so I can't give 
you steps for removing line breaks that way. You do not want to remove 
legitimate paragraph marks. That's why it is important to use only lower case 
letters in the find and replace dialoogues. Also remember that Openbook's 
default file format is OBX, so you will want to go to save as, and in the file 
types tab, choose RTF.


As far as Outlook express attachments, there are several ways of viewing them. 
When you are in the message body, pressing insert a will bring up the list of 
attachments. Pressing enter will bring up a dialogue asking if you want to open 
the file. There may also be an option to save. If not, go to the file menu and 
look for the save attachments option. Save the file to a place where you will 
be able to locate it on your hard drive. Once you are in a message, instead of 
pressing insert a, you can press tab to get to the attachments list. If you 
have the preview pane turned on, you will not necessarily need to open the 
message that contains the attachment you wish to view. Just press alt f and go 
down to save attacht. The preview pane allows one to see message contents 
before opening the actual message. If you haven't changed default settings in 
Outlook Express the preview pane should still be enabled.


I hope this helps. I am sorry for being redundant if your question has already 
been answed by someone else.

  I have several books almost ready to submit, but they apparently have line 
breaks in them. I use JAWS12 and Openbook 7.02 to work. How can I remove line 
breaks, or barring removing them, how do I set the scanner not to copy them?

  Anybody know how to read attachments on Outlook Express? Lots of info from 
bookshare I am missing.
