Cindy, That was a good idea before, but won't really help now that page
breaks are required. You don't need to change the font to eliminate page
breaks in text files especially, since none of that is retained. In RTF
files it would be a good idea to set the page length to something like 15
inches or something impossible to prevent the problem you wrote about.
I'll try to be interested in a text file for my next validation, so I can
help to get rid of some of the problem books. Can anyone suggest some
interesting text files that need help? Please, no fair quality romances. I
won't touch those.

leave a line space before and after the page number, so it stands alone. And
I've put a note in the long synopsis that the page numbers appear at the top
or the bottom of the page, depending on where they were in the book, of
course. In one case the headings had been retained so it was easy to see
where the page numbers belonged. I didn't bother putting in a hard break
because when I saved and then reopened to work again the hard break was
gone.

change the font to eliminate the natural breaks that were created. I think I
did do that in the others when I realized I could.
