Hi, Lori, do you mean I should open my file using WordPad? I know this book has some kind of style thing, in fact it gives some kind of number or other and I haven't the faintest idea about what to do about it. All I know is I got rid of scanos, stripped all headers with the exception of the necessary ones, and the pagination is logical given there are six prefatory pages and 474 pages of text. I really don't know what to do. It reads well and I'd hate to reject it because of all that work I put in. I have to save this file as an rtf one for Bookshare. I proofread this book in normal view, but maybe I should have put the file in Print view. I could go round and round on this thing but prefer not to.

It was the book which had all the style issues, and when I solved those I found that many pages contained just one line even though my page length was set at legal. I think this is what you are describing. I could not solve the problem and in fact rejected the book. Have you tried opening the file in Wordpad, then saving it and closing it? Maybe that will help. I do sympathize with your dilemma. If someone can solve your problem, I hope the solution is posted to the list.
