A temporary suggestion would be for those who can not save page breaks
during the validation process to not work on txt until a solution is found.
And perhaps those of us who can save txt page breaks can concentrate on
those files for now.
I also have a tip for inserting page breaks without reading the book. If
there are page numbers and headers I search for the numbers and insert the
page break. For example, I search for 1, that will take care of 10 through
19. and then 2 will find 20 through 29, and so on. It takes a little time
but beats reading every line.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] So what did we decide?
Hello list,
I have been listening to the discussion about the text files and the page
breaks.
What I want to know is I have seen a few on the download list that sound
interesting but they are txt files. If I am going to read it any way I'll
put the page breaks in so long as I know if the numbers are at the top or
the bottom of the page. But there is still a problem with that. If txt won't
holed them and I have to turn it back to bookshare as text files they will
lose the page breaks again.
Marissa has said that she will talk to the powers that be and see about
allowing text files to be returned as rtf but in the mean time what should
we do. Take the txt files see if we can determine where the page numbers are
and do the work and wait till the change is made for the return trip?
I like to edit with word so I can change the paper size and the margins to
try to help the pages but what is the consensus?
Thanks to all of you for all the work, Shannon
