In that case I am almost certain of what the problem is. If page 117 begins a chapter then page 116 is a blank page. Like I said, blank pages are almost always just that, blank, and there is not even a page number. And also like I said, it is not uncommon at all that when I am scanning in two page mode and come across a blank page the two pages are scanned as one page thus effectively skipping the blank page. If you have contacted the submitter you might want to wait for a reply, but I am pretty confident that all you have to do is to insert a blank page 116.

It does indeed begin a chapter. I have found other places in the book just like this. The scanner is checking with his friend who has the book. -----Original Message----- From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Roger Loran Bailey Sent: Thursday, July 19, 2012 7:14 AM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Page Number Problem Here is another important question. Does page 117 begin a chapter or some kind of section. If it does then it is likely that page 116 was a blank page. If the narrative just continues from page 115 to page 117 without any kind of natural division then it is quite unlikely that page 116 was blank. It might have contained an illustration of some kind, though, that did not scan. Are there other pages in the book where pictures fill a page? If so then that might be what is on page 116.

Is the page number on the page that identifies itself as file page 117 the same, or does it say 116? If so, delete the blank page so the numbers are correct. If it says Page 117, go further. 2. Check several lines on the page that follows the blank page. Does it all make sense? Sometimes, two pages in a book mesh themselves into one. When this happens, there is a blank page, followed by a very long page that incorporates both pages of the scan, interleaved so they make little sense. You can check this by reading the page. Are there spots where the story thread seems to go along, then to break off into something else for a line or two? In this case, get whoever scanned the book (e-mail is in the book's history) to rescan that page and send it to you. Then you can insert it and delete both the blank page and the bad one. The best way to judge whether the blank page is in the book is to 1) check the page numbers written in the book, not the page number announced by the file, or 2) have the scanner, or someone else, check the book quickly to see if Page 116 is blank.

I am proofing a book that skips from page 115 to page 117. I checked back, and no page numbers are missing. There simply is not a page 116. What do you suggest I do? Should I insert a blank page 116? That seems like it would be altering the text. This is my first book.
