The very first book I validated for bookshare was like
that. The lines were split in the middle, and
sometimes were flush right and not flush left and were
half-lines. It wasn't an LP book, either. I still
sometimes find paragraphs and pages flush right
instead of flush left, and occasionally, but rarely,
lines that are split, or have words in sentences
halfway down the page. When I come across pages like
that I usually copy and save them in another word file
and then when I get to where they belong I copy and
paste them back. Now that I think about the book I
just finished, the split lines do happen oftener than
I remember, and I close them up. It's become such a
habit I don't think about it any more -- and that was
an LP book. But I've had the problem with non LP
books, too. I've just gotten used to it and accept it
as a matter of course.
