Cindy I need a set of find and replace commands which get rid of hypens and
end of line breaks without getting rid of those which follow periods. So
far I have not been able to do a find and replace for say ". end of line
break" or ". followed by space and end of line break" They simply do not
show up in the search. I am sure this was formatted for braill output or a
display by the number of linebreaks and hyphens which appear in the middle
of sentences. I cannot go through the book and delete them by hand. It
will take much too long.

E,
I'm not sure what you're working in -- if it's something like Kurzweill that I know nothing about. In Word or rtf, I simply delete th hyphen and the word closes and either stays on the first line or goes to the second line. If the word is hyphenated at the bottom of the page I either move or write in the last half to the page the first half is on or vice versa (remembering to delete the half that remains if I've written the half instead of moving it).
With misplaced page breaks (and I've come across them often, in tis book and others), I blacken and delete them just as I would a word or character -- and put in the break where it belongs.
I hope I've been clear and not confusing.
