Hi Kellie,
Oh, so glad you understand. I was afraid I wasn't explaining it right. I did
have Word show me all the markup, and although I didn't check every page, (was
sort of hoping to avoid that), there was definitely some white space and a page
break mark near the header or footer. What I'm thinking might have happened is
that maybe on some pages but not most of them, maybe the header or footer
didn't come out, so there went the page break too. or it could be as you said:
whoever scanned this didn't use the two-page scanning option.
I just can't think of a surefire way to fix this short of checking each page
and that would take a lot of time. I just was hoping that there was a method I
hadn't considered.
Thanks for helping me with this. i want to learn as many tricks of the trade
as possible.
paula

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.
