HI Chanelle,
I only used three % symbols because that is a character string not likely to
appear in the file as part of the book, so when we do the find and replace,
we're not replacing something that we wanted to leave alone.
Let me stress that blank lines between paragraphs are not at all necessary.
It's the blank line between text on a page and the page number that is very
helpful to have preserved. The blank lines between paragraphs aren't
necessary. They just get preserved with this process if they existed in the
scan along with the blank line between page on the text and the page number.
Blank lines between paragraphs won't hurt anything either.
I am sorry. I'm rattling on.
Did that help at all?
Mayrie

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

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.
