[bksvol-discuss] Re: Yet Another Page Break Question

Hi, Tom. I'm not sure how long you've been on this list, since for most of the 
month of September, I couldn't check email, but I think most of us can hardily 
agree that we're frustrated with the page break issue. It's been a source of 
frustration for many people, so you're not alone. Take care.

  Gerald, are you telling us that bookshare wants only books with 
hard-page-breaks?
  It seems that this should be rethought, since all the programs I'm aware of 
only insert the soft sort since they are doing it for printers not for 
Bookshare.  Maybe you can share how or with what program will accomplish the 
mission.  I guess I'm a little frustrated with the whole business of 
page-breaks.  I don't mean to sound angry, but I am frustrated with an issue 
that wonm't go away.

    Lisa,

    Bookshare is not accepting books without hard page breaks.

    HTH

    Hi, Grace.

    I changed my view from print to normal and the page breaks magically 
appeared.  Go figure.

    The page numbers and headers appear at the top of the page, or just after 
word indicates a page break.  I will still have to insert page breaks, though, 
since there's 682 pages in this book and the last page in Word is 352.  I'm 
thinking the submitter scanned two pages at a time with this one and didn't 
insert page breaks as the book was being scanned.  I can't really verify this, 
though, because the submitter is the everpopular Bookshare.org Volunteer.

    Does anyone know if the Bookshare system distinguishes between hard and 
soft page breaks, and if it does, which one is preferable?

    Thanks for the assistance.

    Lisa

      Lisa,

      When Word says the new page number, is the header with page number on the 
first line?

      The other thing you could do is to extend the paper size so that Word 
does not put in soft page breaks. Also be sure that word is in normal view.

        Hi, all.  I realize this subject has just about been put through the 
ringer, but I'm not sure how to handle this...

        I have The Shining by Stephen King downloaded for validation.  The 
original zip file was in RTF, and I use MS Word as my editor.  The file has 
page breaks in it, but I don't think these would be considered valid because 
Word only indicates I've gone from one page to another, but doesn't say "Page 
Break", which is what it usually does with RTF files.  Also, if I try inserting 
a manual page break, Word still doesn't call it a page break; it just moves to 
the next page and tells me it's on a new page.  I've tried saving it as a MS 
Word document, but I still have this thing with the page breaks going on.  

        Also, I have to put in page breaks manually, because the submitter has 
two pages of text on what Word considers to be one page, Pages four with a 
header and text merges into page five with header and text for example.  I 
don't mind inserting the page breaks myself, but I need to know if there's a 
difference between MS Word displaying a new page and a page break inserted with 
the Control+Enter command.

        I do apoligize for rehashing this again, and thanks to everyone for 
their suggestions.

        Lisa
