This is something I do not understand.
Not downing myself, but just stating facts truly, I'm just stupid enough LOL
that I would have no idea where or where not a page break even is.
I would mess up a book so fast it would not be funny and I know how hard
scanners work.
So how in the world do you even tell such a thing, I just hear errors hear if
there isn't a page number that kind of things. These things of knowing where
lines end, page breaks, I don't even understand how you pick that up at all.
That is why I had to release a book, I had no idea what the boss was talking
about when they say insert pages breaks, I can fix misspelled words, all I'm
going by is my hearing and it hears right to me if that makes sense.
But had I put breaks in there? Oh my that book would have been so messed up
nobody could have fixed it for serious real!
I wish there was a way, if you find there is something you have not learned to
do on a book, you could put it up with your work that was done so somebody who
knows more could finish it.
Yes I know they'd get the credit, but would beat all the work and then being
stumped and having someone have to start over.
For me, I do what Mayrie told me to do on the steps, have them written down in
Braille in case I miss something.
But that is all I know, and all for me I can know, cause if I get to much I am
overwhelmed and you'd have a bigger book mess and my scans were a big enough
mess, that is why I stopped that altogether plus my hands, and went to
proofreading.

Hi Jim. Good question, and the answer is yes. In Kurzweil, pressing control
enter will insert a page break, (a form feed), at the location of your cursor.
If you ever need to merge two pages, you can press control shift enter. I hope
this helps. If not, please let me know, and I'll try to help you better. (smile)

This was an interesting experience. When I downloaded the book, it
supposedly had 106 pages. Actually it had 205 pages, not counting the front
matter. So I repaginated it.
I did this by first saving the book as a text file. I then used my favorite
Windows text editor, textpad. I removed all the form feeds, 0x0C characters,
and then inserted form feeds in the appropriate places.
I'm wondering if there was an easier way to do this using K1000? I didn't
find such a way looking through the Kurzweil manual.
Thank you.
