I know this will sound so dreadfully heartless, no Charitable Seasonal
spirit and all the rest. But It takes a grand total of just 1 hour and 5
minutes to scan an entire 450 page paperback book, page breaks, font
info, and all the rest. Than it takes about 90 minutes to do some basic
cleanup, and finally an average of a couple of hours to spellcheck it.
I really do not understand why we are even bothering to discuss salvage
operations for DOA submissions, when the culling ax and a quick rescan is
the only merciful course of action for most of these runts.

Hi Cindy,
We're still working on it. (Gotta love consensus, huh?) Look for a
message from me by the end of the week.
Did everyone have a good Christmas?

Hi, Marissa,
Thanks for the new list.
Is there any word yet on what to do with txt files or
if they will be accepted without hard breaks, with
spaces and page numbers instead? That doesn't prevent
the breaks Word puts in in the wrong places, but by
adding line spaces or changing font the file can
probably be made to coincide with the book.
When I finish Johnny Tremain I'm thinking of fixing
one of those troublesome romances, since I found a
copy. As things stand now, I think the best thing for
me to do is to reject the txt file and submit a new
rtf file with page breaks.
Cindy
