Hi, Cindy. The Bookshare automated system won't acknowledge those blank
lines as page breaks, so I'm almost positive there actually have to be
breaks in the file for it to be acceptable. Take care.

Thanks, Grace. I did save in both rtf and Word, and
when I work in RTF it automatically switches to Word,
but I don't think I did exactly what you suggest, so
I'll try both your and Robin's suggestion.
I have continued working. When I put in hard page
breaks and close, then re-open, there is one line
space between the page number and the preceding text
(the page numbers are at the bottom of the page) and
three line spaces between the page number and the next
page's text. Is this satisfactory, or do there have to
be hard breaks?
