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.

Hi, gang, I've sent Jack of Kinrowan back to bookshare in hopes of it
being approved. The file had two sets of page numbers, one based on
the actual book (me), and one based on MS Word which were there twice.
Ah, heck! This is confusing! Anyhow it all works out okay. If you
count the prefatory pages along with the rest of the book, the pages
add up to 480. I guess what I was being told was that I couldn't have
both. For example, if I was on print page 8 of the actual text, the
page field would say p.14 and 2 lines down there was p. 8 which is
what you would read (I think that's right.) Grr!
Anyhow, I hope that it gets into the collection by hook or by crook.
