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.

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? Jim Nuttall -- Michigan
