Jim,
 
The Bookshare software is capable of handling margins.  You need not worry
about chaning those.  But, where possible, you should definitely remove the
hyphins and join the words.  What you might find, however, is that when you
remove the hyphins your margins may not look the same.  If this is the case,
then feel free to alter the margins to ensure that the book's contents is
well-preserved.
 
I hope this helps.  Let me know if you have any questions.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Repairing RFP file for submission


It turns out that my scanning with FineReader Pro requires me to export the
file with the exact match on otherwise I lose the pages.  So this raises
several issues, since I want to submit a file it would be easily validated.
 
Question 1: the margins in the scan of our usually something like 5" by 8".
Would it be helpful to reset the margins is something like 8" by 11" page
instead?
 
Question 2: frequently with books there are hyphenated words at the end of
the line.  This is done by printers for eye appeal in formatting books.
Would it be helpful to eliminate this hyphenation.  So the words would
appear with the correct spelling as a single word and not a broken up word?
