Hi to all
It is nice to read all the mails exchanged about different characters and
paragraph markers that you see in the scanned books. It is nice of you to share
your experience and this educates me because I have started validating only
recently. thanks devi

Because in Word, sometimes--and when I scanned with my
old scanner-- I see it at the end of every line and
when I click so it's hidden, the lines are lines and
not paragraps. The paragraph symbol, or what looked
like a paragraph symbol (the p with the double lineat
the edge) acted as a line break.
However, people said that that made paragraph breaks,
at least when converted by bookshare, so I've been
eliminating them when I see them. I thought I had to
do the same thing with the marks Jamie mentioned, and
so I have been. Do I not? I can just let them be in
files that have those?

P.S. As long as I have you, smile,--If the paragraph
symbol is at the end of a paragraph, and paragraphs
are neither indented nor have a line space between,
can I leave them that way? I remember that when I
asked which was preferable Pratik said to leave
whatever the scan was, but that was when I asked about
skipping lines between paragraphs vs indenting them.
Now I'm asking, what if neither is the case, but there
is the p symbol at the end of a paragraph.
