I'm not sure what you mean by a space. do you mean the paragraph symbol
indicates that a new paragraph is next, or a real space? I don't think
I've ever seen a blank space at the end of a paragraph; either the
paragraph has the para symbol or the sentence continues.

The converter should handle that. In fact, that is why we are asked to add
asterisks when there is a double space to indicate a scene change or
something similar. If the asterisks were not added the blank lines would
just be removed and there would be no indicator.

Thanks. That puts my mind at ease. One more thing is that there seems to
be a space at the end of every paragraph. Should I leave those in? Will the
converter handle taking those out?

Leaving out characters is a common scanning error. I, for example, am
plagued with apostrophes not scanning. A possessive will consist of a
person's name a space and then the s sitting all alone. For the kinds of
things you describe if you do not have a copy of the print book on hand to
check I think I would just assume that they are scanning errors and add
them. That would be especially true if they are very common throughout the
book or if the same missing characters show up repeatedly. Sometimes the
copy editors do a poor job, but they are rarely that bad.

Hi all. I'll just start by proofreading the text itself, then worry about
formatting when I get replies to my previous topic. Now, though, I've come
across things like a quotation that has no end quote after the obvious end
of the clause. I really, really don't want to add anything that the author
did not mean, so I'm asking if there are rules on this, or if I should just
follow my own judgement on these issues? Also, I've come across parts where
a word or comma is missing.
