[bksvol-discuss] Re: Yeah definitely formatting help needed

I came across a formatting problem, too. I'm proofing a poem and the page 
numbers are in yellow. It's a Daisy thing, apparently. I did finally figure out 
to change the page numbers to normal word font  by going to  the headings file  
and scrolling all the way to the bottom. There I foound out it was Daisy and 
clicking  on it mad it revert to normal word.
 Do people who scan in daisy submit in Daisy??
