Lissi,
Yes, it makes sense, but Word is not going to divide words which are not
already divided. Please put the divided words back together since that's a
scanning error. Well, actually, not all divided words are scanning errors.
Publishers sometimes divide words when they fall at the end of a line. The
first half of the word will end in a hyphen, and the second half will appear
at the beginning of the next line or at the top of the next page. Please
put these words back together, too.
Good luck with your validation. <Smile>
Gerald

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] a question about divided words
Dear Volunteers,
Yet another question. I'll get right to it.
As I'm reading, jaws pronounces divided words strangely. For example,
flowers is divided and is pronounced flow ers. Should I delete the flow and
replace it so that flowers is read as one word.
Oh, and a second question,
The right and left margins on this book are justified. I wonder if when I
reconnect syllables which don't sound like a word when they are connected,
if the program rearranges the text to keep the margins justified and might
divide different words. Does that make sense?
Thank You,
Lissi
