Hi Jim,

In the case of something like that, I would move the quote to the end of the nearest sentence or paragraph, if the end of the paragraph is not very far away. I wouldn't want to move the quote too far, though, because it could likely be contextual, probably is. But pulling them out of the middle of a sentence is perfectly legitimate, and even recommended.

Evan

Hi,
I meant to say that it has things people said. It will interrupt the text
with a saying by Wayne Gredsky, Abraham Lincoln, or whoever. It can happen
in the middle of a sentence or paragraph.

Hi, Jim.
What exactly do you mean by sprinkles quotes?
Are there random quotation marks?  If so, you can probably just delete
them.
Sometimes extra characters appear in the text like apostrophes and greater
than signs.

I use an older version of Microsoft Word and JAWS 7.1 and I notice that the

screenreader doesn't always read the entire line so that, if you're reading

a conversation, you'll heare a bunch of quotes but you won't hear the text
that's in them.
Hope this helps.
Christina

Hi,
I'm validating a book in which the author sprinkles quotations. They
interrupt the flow of the text. Should I leave them exactly where they
are?
If so, should I separate them in some way?

Thanks.
