Mayrie,
I'm using Word XP to edit books. I imagine there must be a way to unify the margins, but I haven't found it. Maybe I'mmissing something obvious.

Hi Robin,

What software are you using for proofreading? There should be an option to
standardize margins without altering font attributes.

Some of the things that the conversion tool does are to locate page numbers,
and place them at the top of pages, to remove all tabs except when in a
table, to remove all extra spaces (that is any more than one space occuring at a time, and to remove blank lines. There may be more, I just can't think
of it at the moment.

Hope some of that helps.

Mayrie

   Hi all,
   Is there a summary somwhere of what all the bookshare tool does when it
prepares a book?

I was intrigued to read the emails that said it moves pages numbers to the
top, which is where I try to put them, but  my sighted hssband leaves them
at the bottom of pages if that's where they were in the scanned book.

One thing I'm particularly wondering about today is whether the tool cleans up the margins. That is, quite often when I put a book into RTF to clean it
up, the left margin changes sometimes.  The best way I've found to clean
that up is to clear formating  from that section, but that takes out any
font formatting, too. So, I've just been leaving it as is, hoping that the
tool cleans it up, but  I don't know.

Thanks.
Robin
