Hi, Tracy, when I was going to school there were print page numbers and
Braille page numbers and of course when it came to attending class the
instructor would mention what I thought of as the print page numbers. In
fiction one only had the Braille page numbers, but things have changed. I
got a collection of stories by Patricia McKillip and the book was numbered
like a text book (yeah, you guessed it, both print and Braille page
numbering). Now when I'm reading for pleasure seeing that line of dashes and
a page numbered attached definitely interrupts reading flow (for lack of a
better expression). I've also come across books in Bookshare that have two
sets of numbers (Ngaio Marsh Five Complete Novels has both for example). I
personally don't see what the big deal is, but I do want the page count to
be accurate, but more important to me is the accuracy of the text. Regards,
Kim Friedman.

I don't see the purpose of having page numbers put in by Word, or any other
program.  If I'm reading a book, the only page numbers I care about are the
ones in the book.  If I'm using the book in a class, or even a reading
group, I want to be able to refer to, say, the passage on page 210.
Ken Cross used to have fits about Bookshare page numbers, and rightly so.
