be limited to hard page breaks. (you can't really call what Word does page
breaks, because there's nothing in the file, just how Word chooses
stupidly to display the doc).

Hi Soniya,
You can keep blank pages--if you want to you could make a note in brackets
stating that the page is blank. As for the page number issue, that can be
a little complicated. When you work with the book in Kurzweil, do you see
page numbers/headers at the tops or bottoms of the pages? If so, Kurzweil
is handling the pages correctly. If not, do you see numbers at the tops or
bottoms of the pages when you look at the book in Word? There are two
issues that would make this happen. First and most likely, Word paginates
everything in accord with whatever is set as margins in its system. The
reason is that it thinks that all anyone ever does is prepare documents to
be printed, so it uses the margins set for the size of printer paper. That
means it will throw in arbitrary page breaks wherever the actual page
contains more than would fit in the printer margins. There is a way to fix
this, but I can't remember off the top of my head what exactly you need to
do. The second issue has to do with older versions of Kurzweil not
recognizing a type of section break that some programs use for page
breaks. If this is the case, the good news is that Kurzweil doesn't eat
the section breaks--it just won't display them correctly. I would
recommend that if one of the programs is displaying the page breaks
correctly and the other isn't that you edit with whichever program is
behaving better. If it seems that the file has no determinable page breaks
according to either Word or Kurzweil, then there are a couple of ways you
could handle it. Since Bookshare won't accept books with no page breaks
you can either insert page breaks, (this only works when you have page
numbers or headers that you can use to decide where the breaks should go),
you could release the books and let the list know that this is the issue
in case anyone else wants to tackle it, or you could reject the book.
I hope I've been clear and not just more confusing. <grin>
