Hi Paula, Sorry, I understood this backwards. What may have happened is that either you're right and because this file is txt Word isn't recognizing all it's page breaks and is substituting its own according to the paper length setting, or two pages sometimes scanned as one and that has thrown off the page count. You could check just to see if a few page breaks are located near a header or not--that would tell you what's happening. but either way, the process for fixing all that can be quite tedious. So you could just accept the book as is with the changes you've made to fix scanner errors and weird formatting. In txt files I've seen displaced paragraph marks where there actually should have been page breaks.
