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

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.  <smiles>

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.

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


    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
