Mary, I'm not sure if this might be the problem, but at times Kurzweill puts n blank pages between real pages. Shelley had some books with that problem that she was able to resolve. The book I'm validating now,, Cloud Atlas, has the same problem. Less than halfway through the book there are two or three blank pages between pages of text. The pages of text are practically perfect -- I have found very few scannos. The errors are some formatting errors and the blank pages. Deleting them takes time, but the actual text pages are there. (Every once in a while, because there seem to be so many blanks, I startt to wonder if ther est of the book is missing, but finally the next page shows up). Check to see if that is your problem or if you really do have duplicate text pages. If it's the insertion of blank pages, ask K how to get rid of them and what caused the problem.
