Can someone help me please.
My wife and I have a Sony PRS-350 (Great little machine!!) and we always use rtf format for our books.
She has Sense and Sensibility loaded into Atlantis, but between each paragraph there is a space. I have tried the solutions found in the Atlantis
Help but nothing works. How do we get rid of them?
We try to correct spelling and fonts and chapter headings etc before we load the books. It normally works well.
Thanks
Extra spacing between paragraphs
Hi,
It all depends what exactly are these “paragraphs” and “spaces”.
First, click “View | Special Symbols”.
Do these “paragraphs” end with a “bent arrow” symbol (“line breaks” created with “Shift+Enter”) or with a “pilcrow” symbol (actual paragraph end marks created by pressing the “Enter” key)?
If your lines end with “bent arrow” symbols, you first need to replace these “bent arrow” symbols with paragraph end marks (i.e. convert “lines” into proper “paragraphs”):
Place the insertion point at the start of the document, press “Ctrl+H”, type “^l” in the “Find” box, type “^p” in the “Replace With” box. Press the “Replace All” button.
Now you need to replace each double paragraph end mark with a single one. Press “Ctrl+H”, type “^p^p” in the “Find” box, type “^p” in the “Replace With” box. Press the “Replace All” button.
If the vertical spacing between paragraphs is still too big, click “Format | Style…”, select the “Normal” style, press the “Modify” button. In the “Edit Style” dialog, press the “Paragraph” button. In the “Paragraph Format” dialog, adjust the “Spacing before” and “Spacing After” values appropriately. “OK” out of all open dialogs.
HTH.
Cheers,
Robert
