MessageI don't think so, either, but not everyone reads with speech or braille.
There are, I'm sure, some Bookshare members who read using the DAISY format
with vision, whether they use magnification or not. Take care.

Maybe I'm wrong but I don't change the formatting since whether it's spoken
or read in braille, I wouldn't think the line length would make any difference.

That doesn't change the actual formatting, though, does it? I think that's
what she's wanting to do...actually make all lines the same length, or at least
so they all cover the same amount on the page. This is a book I scanned that
she's validating, and I didn't notice that when I submitted the book. I have no
idea how to fix it, either. Take care.

Lissi, I had a similar situation recently. Go to the view menu in MS
Word, alt v
then hit z for the zoom dialog box. You have four choices in that
box--zoom to 75%, zoom to 100%, zoom to 200% and zoom to page width. If you
find zoom to pagewidth and hit enter, this should make all lines easier for you
to read.

Dear Volunteers,
Though I'm slowly but surely completing validations and having them
approved, I discover new computer puzzles in each new book. You probably know
this by heart now, but I'm using Microsoft Word editing an RTF file with
windows XP and jaws.
My current problem is this. The first several pages of my accurately
scanned book have long lines stretching from the right to the left margins.
Then, the format changes and the lines are only half or two thirds as
long. I've experimented, but haven't succeeded in making the line lengths match
those of the first part of the book. The font is the same.
I would appreciate any of your suggestions. Every time I come to you
with a question, I learn something new and try not to repeat the same question.
Sarah, Mike, Cindy, Julie, Shannon, Sue, and so many of you have made
suggestions which solved my problem allowing me to complete a validation. It
has been so kind of you to help me along.
Thank you in advance!
Always With Love,
Lissi
