Hi Lissi, I'm really sorry you had to get such a rude awakening on this spacing issue. I think the system is set up to handle average-style fiction and nonfiction books where spacing beyond proper paragraphing isn't really that important. With books of poetry and books like you're working on right now, it's kind of a shame that the formatting gets messed up if the OCR actually manages to preserve it. This problem hasn't bothered me that much because I'm oblivious to formatting, even when I'm reading braille. But I certainly think that this would make a much *much* bigger difference to readers with sight than the difference between em-dash and double dash. Kellie
