Yes, it does show up in the BRF files, and also the rule of font size makes navigation possible in the BRF files. We may not be able to tell whether it is in all caps or bolded, but we can tell that it is emphasized. Sue S.

It isn't a default setting generally though. I think we need to ask Sue though whether bold shows up in the brf copies of the book. I assume that it does, or someone would have been upset that it was a problem before now. Sounds like an interesting book! The book with the dashes sounds like it'd be quite confusing! It's good you don't have to do anything but read it! I love when I discover that about a tricky book!

It's part of the Quick and Dirty Tips series of books. The other thing about this book is parts of it are in red font. I haven't decided yet if red means something or just makes it stand out. I think I could cut and paste your answer key explanation into it too, smile. I'm still just "considering" scanning it though. It looks like not many of the answers intersect in the searches. Some do but not tons. Without sight would people be able to tell that it is bold? Or red? Red doesn't stay in the file anyway I think. It's a Henry Holt book so I know it won't get PQ or else I wouldn't even consider scanning it. The print book I'm reading now I was thinking this would be a nightmare to scan because while it's British, it doesn't use the typical British punctuation. Dialog is indicated by a space dash space then the dialog then no ending thing to indicate the end of dialogue. On top of that space dash space is also used instead of an em dash and sometimes both in the same paragraph so you don't know if they're talking, done talking, or emphasizing something with what we'd use an em dash for. But luckily it is a PQ book in the collection already! Good luck to the reader figuring it out though. I'm having a hard enough time myself figuring out when they're talking or just thinking to themselves. -- Jamie in Michigan Currently Reading: The London Train by Tessa Hadley See everything I've read this year at: www.michiganrxtech.com/books.html -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this message.
