Cindy,

I'm confused.  What makes you think the Paragraph Marker doesn't start a new
paragraph?  After all, that's it's  purpose , to designate a new paragraph.

Gerald,

That's good to know, i.e., about the line break. But the paragraph symbol at
the end of the line does the same thing in Word, and doesn't make
paragraphs, it's is just a line break--but apparently not when it's changed
by bookshare. Can we assume that that symbol doesn't affect reading by
members, that it's safe to just leave them? Is there a way Jamie and I can
test to be sure?
