Jana,
I am reading it so I think I will just delete them. I had another thought.
After I finish checking this book out and fixing it I could let word put
page numbers in it. I know that the page numbers won't match the text copy
but there would be at least a place marker for the next reader to know where
the were reading should they have to pick the book back up. What do you
think? Is that a bad thing to do? I don't want to do anything that may get
me into trouble. I could make note of the page number changes when I submit
the book.
