Hi, Sue! I believe you've mentioned this, but I can't remember. Do you have K1000 or OpenBook? If so, you might try reading your file with one of those. More than likely, the page numbers will reappear again. <Smile>

Well here's one. I validated Mike Pietruk's submission of "Those Christmas
Angels" last weekend, an RTF file. I am reading it now, you know, word for
word? Well, MS Word seems to have eaten the page numbers. The breaks are
still there <knock on wood> and all the words are there. But what do you
suppose happened to the page numbers? Now this copy I am reading had to
catch a bug from Bookshare when it was uploading/ inspecting/copying, or MS
word is doing this. So if you save your work, well. . .

That is indeed annoying. I thought leaving 4 line spaces before writing Chapter whatever would work. Do you have any idea what it is you might have done differently with the ones that are still present in the Daisy file? Maybe we could put a line, varying how we say it, informing people that" a new chapter begins here," Maybe sometimes with an "A," or without it, and then Chapter whatever, and so on. What makes me think of that is that in a couple of the books I validated, including Lost Love Found, somtimes the new chapter begins on a new page and sometimes it begins in the middle of a page.

Hi,

Secret Admirer came back onto the download list, so
since I had read
it before, I validated it, and made sure that there
were blank lines
above the chapter headings. I downloaded the .brf
and the daisy files,
and they're all gone in the .brf file, and only two
or three are still
present in the Daisy file. Apparently since the
header stripper sees
Chapter, repeatedly at the beginning of lines, it
must just strip
them. I can't figure any other way around this
unless something can be
implemented in the software at bookshare, telling it
to leave lines
that begin with Chapter alone.
