Hi, Monica. I don't know if anyone has mentioned this before or not, but if 
not, I'm surprised no one has. I've read through several days' worth of mail 
and discussions about this with you and haven't seen it mentioned yet, but 
you can take that text file you downloaded to validate and convert it to RTF 
now and upload it that way. If you take the file and convert it immediately 
to RTF before doing anything to it, you can then see where the page breaks 
are, if it has them in the right places, etc., and if you add any, they will 
be retained. Take care.

I think I may be out of luck then.  I have Openbook, Word, and an
editor called Notetab Pro on my system.  Since I'm told that Word
removes page breaks, it looks like I will have to stick with
validating Arkenstone and rtf files for now.  Bleh!  I also have
several books that I scanned into text format before joining
Bookshare.  I have no way of knowing if they have page breaks or not.
