I am currently validating time enough for love by Robert Heinlein.
It appears to be a really good scan, at first glance. However, there may be
a paging problem.
I initially tried to bring the .rtf file up in Kurzweil--my preferred
editing program--and found that the book only had 170 odd pages. I read this
book years ago and know for a fact it has a lot more than that. So, I
brought the same .rtf file up in ms word and found that word thought the
book had about 600 pages.
In checking the file, it appears that it has a section break for each page,
but no actual page breaks (designated by a ^m in the find and replace
dialog).
My question is this, will the program that bookshare uses be fooled (as
K1000 was) by the absence of page numbers? If so, how can I change the
section breaks to page breaks? or should I change them?
I would still like to use k1000 as an editing tool, but I know as soon as I
save the file, we will loose all the section breaks and come up with that
completely wrong page count.
Any advice on how to handle this?
Bob
