Hi Lori, The Bookshare tools will get rid of those blank lines at the bottoms of pages. If you're the validator, you don't need to do anything about them. They will disappear in the final copy in the collection. I get rid of them as a submitter so that validators won't have to deal with them. I get rid of all groups in one fell swoop, which doesn't take long. But it isn't really necessary to get rid of the groups of blank lines, because the bookshare tools will take them out in the end.

In a book I am now scanning, each page has about six or seven blank lines at the bottom of each page; I have been removing them and leaving only the return at the end of the line and one blank line. Is this step necessary; doing so makes me feel like I'm getting the book in great shape, but is it just extra work? Thanks.
