I really hate that because I think it messes up accuracy. I once had a problem with a file which suffered from an increasing page count according to Word. The way it was solved was to go into paragraph presentation and do some fiddling with the spacing setting or something. I have the email message and I can send it as an attachment if you like. Regards, Kim Friedman. P.S.: Now the solution happened to work with this particular book I was proofreading. I don't know if it would work for others and I would hate to make things harder for you.

We can see blank lines by using the arrow keys. It is very hard to explain. It could be that I shouldn't pay any attention to Word's page count, and just go by the page numbers in the scan, even if pages are added in Word.

[rickc@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, August 02, 2011 3:00 PM To: Kim Friedman Cc: Scott Rains Subject: A method to always get the correct page count of a file * The method assumes the book was scanned correctly, ie
the scan contains the correct number of hard page breaks to begin
with. * To determine the page count of a file, Bookshare
counts only hard page breaks. Soft page breaks are not included in the
count. This method gives you a count of all the hard page breaks in
a file. OVERVIEW 1) We will do a "dummy global replace" in order to get Word
to tell us how many replaces it made. This number will be the page count of the file. Said another
way, this will be the number of hard page breaks in the file. 2) Next we will do an "Undo", exactly once. This undoes the
global replace we just did. 3) Then we'll do one quick test to make sure the Undo we did,
was successful! === DO A DUMMY GLOBAL REPLACE: REPLACE ALL HARD PAGE BREAKS
WITH A UNIQUE STRING 1. Start at the very beginning of the file by doing the
keystroke combination: Control + Home. 2. Bring up the "Find and Replace" dialog box by doing the
keystroke combination: Control + h. 3. In the "Find what" box, type "^m" (without the
quotes). This is a caret, followed by a lower case
letter 'm'. 4. In the "Replace with" box, type a unique string. We will
suggest: "%%%%" (without the quotes). This is four percent signs with no spaces
between. 5. In a moment, Word will tell you how many replaces it made.
Be ready to remember this number. 6. Do a Replace All with the keystroke combination: Alt
+ a. (Or, click "Replace All".) 7. Record or remember the number of replaces Word made. Then
click "OK". 8. Be sure to exit the Find and Replace dialog box by either
hitting the Escape key, or by clicking "Cancel". DO "UNDO" ONCE, PUTTING BACK ALL THE HARD PAGE
BREAKS 9. Do an "Undo" just once. One way is to do the keystroke
combination: Control + z. This one Undo will undo the global
replace we just did. Now, all the hard page breaks should be
back. TEST TO MAKE SURE THE UNDO WORKED 10. Bring up the "Find" dialog box by doing the keystroke
combination: Control + f. 11. In the "Find what" box, type the exact string you used
before. If you used the
suggestion, then type "%%%%" (four percent signs with no spaces
between). 12. We are hoping *not* to find this string,
indicating that the Undo we did was successful! Click "Find
Next". 13. If you get "The search item was not found", then we know
the Undo we did was successful. The file has been returned to the state we want it in, and
now we have a correct page count. |
