Hi, Devorah! What is happening in this discussion is that the people who are posting are telling the way THEY DO IT. The way you are doing it sounds fine, and should work out. I do not move page numbers if they are at the bottom of pages either. I see no sense in changing that, provided there is a blank line before and after the numbers. Some people change them, but many do not. <smiling> Sue S. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Devorah Greenstein" <DGreenstein@xxxxxxx> To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, May 03, 2008 8:31 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Missing story titles Ouch ouch. Like Bob, I am more confused now. Plus I don't have the benefit of ever experiencing what these books are like after I validate them because I'm sighted. So it's like dropping many hours of work into a black hole and hoping for the best. And I, like many of you guys, am a perfectionist. So I go over every word, check spellings in weird foreign names, check everything, make it as perfect as I can, and upload it. But then what is happening to my work? I always do the wonderful ^p^m^p thing so that there are blank lines on either side of the page breaks. But I have NOT been re-typing each page number on the top of a page if the page numbers are at the bottom. I have left page numbers at the bottom of the page. Am I now correct in my understanding that they all get wiped out? Even if there is a blank line between the page number and the following page break? I do put a page number on the top of the first page of a chapter. It just makes sense to do that. But is it mandatory put all other page numbers at the top of each page? If the mysterious stripper is so smart can't it tell numeric characters from alphabetic characters and leave numeric page numbers at the bottom of the page?
