Along with blind people, and people who see very poorly, Bookshare is also available to sighted people who are so weak or palsied (for whatever medical reason), that they cannot hold a book or turn a page. They too can sign up as Bookshare members and download books. As far as correcting a word that's divided between two pages, I move part of the word from one page to the other (usually the shorter part). So if 'peo-' is on one page and 'ple' is on the next page, I'll move the 'ple' up to the first page, and make the word 'people', and delete the 'ple' from the second page. Otherwise it will sound like garbage. Carrie mickey <micka@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: st1\:* { BEHAVIOR: url(#default#ieooui) } Ah, Lissie, there does seem to be a problem. I don't understand sighted readers wanting to use Bookshare. I'd think this was set up for the print-handicapped. zI'm waiting for an answer to that question, because I guess I misunderstood. If we must maintain the integrity of a book, how can we correct a word that's divided between two pages? The more I work, the more confused I get. I'm up to 74 validations for this year, and have done at least that for three years, and still don't know what I'm doing.

Five spaces really adds up in finger scanning time, but I thought 2 might be so small an indent as to make it hard for sighted readers to see. Can't both populations live with some compromise? Besides, all print books don't indent 5 spaces. The one I'm validating now indents 3 for paragraphs and 8 for quotes! And I'm settling for 6 for the quotes. Which way is the firing squad? Always with love, Lissi Now let's see if I have the nerve to read the responses to this. Always with love, Lissi ----- Original Message ----- From: Monica Cortada To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, June 03, 2006 4:51 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Formatting Tabs or Spaces I guess I didn?t ask my question well. Let me try again? Although tabs can be adjusted to any length, they equal about five spaces when used to indicate a paragraph indentation. So, tabs would need to be replaced with five caret w?s to maintain the format of the original text. Since the text looks and sounds the same whether it has one tab or five spaces, what happens in the .brf files? Which is better, or less garbled, a tab or five spaces in a row?
