Hi, All. It says on the Volunteer home page that if you have any questions or concerns, you can write to the address below. So far, I've received no response from them, and just today Uploaded another book with the same experience described below. Can anyone enlighten me? Many thanks, Marilyn

Hi. I'm a fairly new sighted volunteer and I just uploaded my fourth or fifth book. There's something that I was doing during the last book that I think I was just wasting my time with, and I wanted to make sure. I learned from the volunteer discussion list that extra blank lines between paragraphs are deleted by the system, so I stopped putting them in a long time ago. I also learned that if I put a Tab in at the beginning of a new paragraph, that Tab gets deleted, so I stopped putting that in, too. This confused <me> because I couldn't see the new paragraphs, so I put in a half-inch First Line Indent (working in Word) so the first line of every paragraph is automatically indented a half inch. This helps me a lot, but what it also does is put an indent before the page numbers, so I have to delete it on the blank line before the page number, the line with the page number, and the blank line after the page number. Are these First Line Indents also deleted by the system, so I don't have to bother deleting them? Another question: Do I have to leave a blank line at the top of every page (assuming the page number is at the bottom)? Or can it just be "Page Break" and then immediately start with the text? And vice versa with a blank line at the bottom of the page (if the page number is at the top). Thank you, really, very much. -- Marilyn
