Cindy,
Unless those other numbers come from a braille, that is, brf file, where they 
would refer to braille pages, I can't imagine where your spurious numbers came 
from Kurzweil doesn't produce any printed page numbers that 
actually show up in text. The only page numbers you'd see from a 
kurzweil-produced scan would be those which it got from the text. Those could, 
of course, be misrecognized.  And if the page brake got messed up 
some how, I suppose you could see numbers in middles of pages where none 
belong. But generally, when people talk about Kurzweil page numbers, they are 
referring to the fact that, K1000 starts numbering pages 1 
up with the first page that gets scanned in  a given document. So, if you have 
a title page, and a couple more pages of beginning text, and a contents and 
heaven knows what else, by the time you get to the actual 
page 1 of the book, the page that has the  number 1 on it, you may be on K1000 
page 9 or whatever. There is a way to fix that in k1000, by assigning user 
defined numbers to the preliminary material preceding actual 
page one of the book. But none of that numbering shows up or affects in any way 
the page numbers that show up, or don't show up, on scans produced with K1000. 
Hope that helps.
Mary
