I attached the text file but somehow messed it up. I've not attached files before. I am pasting the code for the offending page below. From the error code, it seems line 30 is where the problem is at offset 228 but I could find no problem anywhere in that line. The file includes text anchors for the many hyperlinks in the index.

<p class="BR-First-Paragraph-b4-Brk--Text-Paragraphs-"><span class="JR-Bold _idGenCharOverride-1"><a id="Blue-163"></a><a id="x.3726"></a>Blue</span><span class="Body-text--20----Constantia _idGenCharOverride-9">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a id="skills-colors-163-Blue"></a><a id="x.3729"></a></span>Blue is the color for this part of the bagua, so just about anything blue will do. Cramming for finals? Hang your blue jeans in the corner to get a better grade. Viagra is a little blue pill. Blue is for <span class="JR-Italics _idGenCharOverride-1">skills</span> and knowledge. Hmmm...</p>

<p class="BR-First-Paragraph-b4-Brk--Text-Paragraphs-"><span class="JR-Bold _idGenCharOverride-1"><a id="Books-163"></a><a id="x.3732"></a>Books</span><span class="Body-text--20----Constantia _idGenCharOverride-9">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span>Even though they are considered wood element, which is uprooting to this area’s earth element, books are welcome in the Skills and Knowledge area for “symbolic of wisdom” reasons. Use a few or all you’ve got. Even if this area falls in your garage, set up a little spot to display stuff that helps you get wise. Use bookends that symbolize a skill of yours, or a skill that you would like to master. A friend of mine has his books held up by blue polished geode bookends. He’s into geology among other things.</p>

<p class="BR-First-Paragraph-b4-Brk--Text-Paragraphs-"><span class="JR-Bold _idGenCharOverride-1">Light</span><span class="Body-text--20----Constantia _idGenCharOverride-9">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a id="Light-162v2"></a></span>Light is one of those traditional cures that can energize just about anything. But used here in the Skills and Knowledge section, it can be especially meaningful. Any light works great— lamps with light bulbs, lanterns, candles. Heck, just a light bulb with proper intent can do the trick. The sayings “Shed some light on the subject” and “Gain enlightenment” hint that light helps with knowledge and intelligence. If you are using a lamp, remember—as long as it is plugged in and works, it will do. It does not have to be on for good feng shui.</p>

<p class="BR-First-Paragraph-b4-Brk--Text-Paragraphs-"><span class="JR-Bold _idGenCharOverride-1"><a id="Food-164"></a><a id="x.3738"></a>Food</span><span class="Body-text--20----Constantia _idGenCharOverride-9">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span>If your kitchen is in this corner of your home, intend that all the food you buy become food for thought. (Who would have thought Cap’n Crunch and lamb chops could be so useful?)</p>

<p class="BR-First-Paragraph-b4-Brk--Text-Paragraphs-"><span class="JR-Bold CharOverride-14">Things That Remind You of Wisdom&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span>A replica of Rodin’s <span class="JR-Italics _idGenCharOverride-1">The Thinker</span>; a lamp of knowledge, the scales of justice, a judges gavel, a chess game, a straight-A report card, and those cute, intelligent dolphins all make great ch’i enhancers. If you think higher thoughts with something, put it here.</p>

<p class="JR-First-Paragraph--Text-Paragraphs-"><span class="JR-Bold _idGenCharOverride-1"><a id="Symbols-objects-skills-164"></a><a id="x.3741"></a>Symbols of Mentors or Wise People&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span>A statue of Solomon would make a great symbol of wisdom. He was the guy in the Bible that, when God asked him what he wanted, responded, “Wisdom.” He knew that if he had wisdom he could get the other stuff—money, land, health, and anything else he needed.</p>

<p class="JR-Regular-b4-break--Text-Paragraphs-">You can also use the three Wise Men (even if it’s not Christmas), Merlin the magician, Yoda, Ben (Obi-Wan) Kenobi, Einstein, or Gandhi depicted in statues, pictures, posters, or toys.</p>

<p class="BR-First-Paragraph-b4-Brk--Text-Paragraphs-"><span class="JR-Bold _idGenCharOverride-1">Sharp <a id="Metal-skills-knowledge-164"></a><a id="x.3745"></a>Metal&nbsp;</span>“Sharp as a tack” and “razor-sharp mind” help illustrate how sharp metal can suggest a sharp mind. As for other symbolic metal items, give the “one-cent cure” a try. It has Lincoln on it, who is known for his intelligence and wisdom. “A penny for your thoughts!” Save your pennies here and see what thoughts come of it.</p>

<p class="BR-First-Paragraph-b4-Brk--Text-Paragraphs-"><span class="JR-Bold CharOverride-14">Meditation Items</span><span class="Body-text--20----Constantia CharOverride-34">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span>If you find your wisdom by meditating, this area of the home will yield the best insights. Create a quiet retreat using your bench, chair, or pillows.</p>

<p class="BR-First-Paragraph-b4-Brk--Text-Paragraphs-"><span class="JR-Bold _idGenCharOverride-1"><a id="Altars-of-Thanksgiving-165"></a><a id="x.3748"></a>Altars of Thanksgiving&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span>Creating a small place in this gua to remind you of all the things you have to be thankful for can add to your wisdom and awareness.</p>

<p class="BR-First-Paragraph-b4-Brk--Text-Paragraphs-"><span class="JR-Bold _idGenCharOverride-1"><a id="Symbols-skills-165"></a><a id="x.3751"></a>Symbols</span> <span class="JR-Bold CharOverride-14">of the Skills or Knowledge You Want to Have&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span>College students, put things here that symbolize your major. (And while you’re working on this, consider removing the collection of beer bottles from around the world.) Hobbyists, work your craft here.</p>

<p class="JR-H3-Tools-Right-Justified"><a id="skills-Hazardous-165"></a><a id="Anchor-120"></a><a id="x.3754"></a>Hazardous Materials for Skills and Knowledge<img alt="" class="_idGenPageitem-12" src="../Images/Hazard2.png" /></p>

<p class="BR-First-Paragraph-b4-Brk--Text-Paragraphs-"><span class="JR-Bold _idGenCharOverride-1"><a id="elements-Wood-165"></a><a id="x.3758"></a>Wood Element</span><span class="JR-Bold CharOverride-14">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span>Wood uproots your wisdom, so keep things like trees, <a id="columnar-165"></a><a id="x.3761"></a>columnar shapes, <a id="greens-skills--165"></a><a id="x.3764"></a>greens, and plants to a minimum here.</p>

<p class="BR-First-Paragraph-b4-Brk--Text-Paragraphs-"><span class="JR-Bold _idGenCharOverride-1"><a id="skills-Clutter-165"></a></span><a href="#skills-Clutter-165"></a><a id="x.3767"></a>Clutter<span class="JR-Bold _idGenCharOverride-1">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span>Thinking clearly requires a <a id="clutter-skills-165-clear"></a><a id="x.3770"></a>clear space. Don’t clutter your mind with unnecessary stuff in your living quarters . . . and yes, I mean the whole house.</p>

<p class="JR-First-Paragraph--Text-Paragraphs-"><span class="JR-Bold _idGenCharOverride-1">Things That Stop the Thought Process&nbsp;</span><span class="Body-text--20----Constantia _idGenCharOverride-9">&nbsp;&nbsp;<a id="x.3773"></a><a id="Alcohol-165"></a></span>Alcohol, <a id="drugs-165"></a><a id="x.3777"></a>drugs, <a id="poisons-165"></a><a id="x.3780"></a>poisons, and <a id="cigarettes-165"></a><a id="x.3783"></a>cigarettes all cloud the thought process and should be kept away from here. If you happen to have a bar in this area of your home, balance it out by having some healthy choices to offer guests—perhaps a juice bar and alcohol bar combo. Sorry about those cigs, smokers, but it really is not too wise to smoke, even if it makes you relax so you can think.</p>

<p class="JR-Regular-b4-break--Text-Paragraphs-">Remember, you have to do your part. Feng shui will only meet you halfway. If you get bombed every night and blow off your job or homework, all the gua embellishing in the world isn’t going to lead you to wisdom or happiness.</p>

<p class="BR-First-Paragraph-b4-Brk--Text-Paragraphs-"><span class="JR-Bold _idGenCharOverride-1">Unwise Symbols&nbsp;</span> Be careful with the <a id="newspaper-166"></a><a id="x.3786"></a>newspaper—it is chock full of stupid people and stupid things (corruption, murder, fires, bankruptcies), things you don’t want to invite into your life. Mike Tyson, Bill Clinton or Monica Lewinsky, River Phoenix, Robert Downey Jr., or anyone else who has done something stupid or just doesn’t get it needs to stay out of this zone.</p>

<p class="JR-H3-Centered-Subheading--Headings-" id="_idParaDest-97"><span class="JR-Bold _idGenCharOverride-3"><a id="Anchor-121"></a>| Left Your Brain in the <a id="Garage-skills-166"></a><a id="x.3790"></a>Garage</span><span class="JR-Bold _idGenCharOverride-3">? |</span></p>

<p class="JR-First-Paragraph--Text-Paragraphs-">In a lot of <a id="homes-garage-166"></a><a id="x.3793"></a>homes, the Skills and Knowledge or Helpful People area of the house falls in the <a id="skills-garage-166"></a><a id="x.3796"></a>garage. As much as some people hope that their garage is not a part of their home, if it lies behind the plane of the front door, it is (see Figure 38). Now, don’t go running off to sue your architect or builder yet. Most are oblivious to feng shui. I’m sure they didn’t do it intentionally. (Support the feng shui cause—give an architect a copy of this book!)</p>

<p class="JR-REgular--Text-Paragraphs-">Garages have an unusual energy about them. Either they have very fast energy whirling about from vehicles coming and going, or they are so crammed with junk that the cars don’t fit, and the energy has come to a grinding, stagnating halt. Either way, the energy is not suitable for comfortable living.</p>

<p class="JR-Regular-b4-break--Text-Paragraphs-">Here’s what you can do about it:</p>

<ol>
<li class="JR-Numbered-List--Bullets-and-Lists- ParaOverride-13" value="1">Cut the crap. You’ve got to take a stand against storing stuff you simply don’t use very often. The more <a id="clutter-skills-166"></a><a id="x.3799"></a>clutter you have, the more brainpower you use subconsciously keeping track of it. Clear the clutter and you clear your mind. I will give a generous exception to the following if they are carefully organized and not overdone: holiday decorations (unless it’s scary, bloody Halloween gunk); children’s clothing and toys (if you are waiting for a younger sibling to grow into them); and papers (the ones the IRS makes you keep for so many years).</li>

<li class="JR-Numbered-List--Bullets-and-Lists- ParaOverride-13">And after you have the crap out, clean the garage as if it is a room in the house. Sweep the floors and dust away the spider webs.</li>
