Hi, Gerald. Thanks for the info. Do you know of a way to tell which is a hard or soft page Break in Word Pad? I'd really rather use this as my editor instead of MS Word, but Word will at least distinguish between hard and soft page breaks and will let me insert hard page breaks as needed.

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.

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.

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.
