Hi Melissa,
I tried this. It worked to an extent, but this book still has 50 or so pages
that shouldn't be there even after adjusting the paper size. Hmmm.

I've not come across your situation, so I don't know if this will work
or not. I'd probably try this on a test file first. There is a character
for whitespace, which is ^w which might get rid of the blank lines after
the page breaks.

Hi Roger,
Well, I have determined that some of the hard page breaks have two
paragraph
markers after them. Those I deleted in word by byping ^k^p^p into the find
and replace box. Others have the page break followed by a blank line and
then 2 paragraph markers. Unfortunately, I have no clue what the character
is for deleting the blank lines.
Still others are actually soft page breaks. LOL. I discovered this the
more
I got into the book last night. I changed the paper size but to no avail.
Do you have any other suggestions? Thanks for your help!

I had a case in which I had proofread a book in Open Book and when I
converted it to RTF extra page breaks were inserted. I did not have Word
and
I was about to give up on it because I thought that I would have to proof
it
again line by line removing each extraneous page break. I finally hit on a
solution. I was able to remove them in Wordpad. First, the most recent
versions of JAWS will not read page breaks in Wordpad. I had to go back to
an earlier version of JAWS that would. I think it was version 9. Then,
noting that the extraneous page breaks were each right up against a
character while the page breaks I wanted to keep had a blank line before
and
after them, I did a find and replace for each letter of the alphabet and
every punctuation mark I could think of. I used the find function to find
the character with a page break right affter it with no space. I replaced
it
with just the character and all the unwanted page breaks vanished. It took
twenty-six operations for each letter of the alphabet and then more for
the
punctuation marks, but it was a lot easier than proofing the whole thing
again.

Okay, so JAWS was being flaky. Apparently these are hard page breaks
after
all! Not sure why it wasn't seeing them in that manner at first, unless
it
had to do with blank lines I was able to get rid of. Anyway, is there a
method for removing blank pages in Kurzweil or MS Word? I'm about to look
for myself but wanted to ask here in case I do not find anything. I
realize
that Bookshare wants them to be there, but I believe it would be easier
to
insert them where appropriate rather than arrowing through a file line by
line in search of the ones that do not belong.
Thanks!

Hello,
I cannot tell what is going on with a book I am proofing at the moment.
The
book appears to have double the amount of pages it should. When I
checked,
it seems that before each hard page break, there is something else which
appears to be another type of break. I am guessing that this may be a
soft
page break but do not know for certain. If anyone else has seen this and
knows more about what I am referring to, please help me get rid of these
in
one swoop. Otherwise, this is going to be a very tedious process.
Thanks!
