Thanks, George. It would be nice if we could say something like 14-* where
* means "to the end of the file." That would save us having to count
pages, or guess where the end really is.

Hi Steve,
Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I plain forgot!
You are right - Help on Embossing Page numbers isn't very helpful, but was as I understood it at the time. Was I ever wrong!
As regards page sequence numbers, you can only enter numbers or the letter b for a blank page. A range is separated with a hyphen or dash as in "12-19". Single pages with commas as in "5,9". Or you can have "5,9,b,12-19,b,26."
Braille page numbers have additional options. So long as it's actual braille page numbers, it could be as described above - and bear in mind that your page sequence may be different from actual braille page numbers, especially if you start with Roman Numbers, then continue later with Arabic page numbers beginning with one again.
However, with braille page numbers also you can have say, "ii-ix". Or you might have a range of prefixed pages, such as "b1-b22".
In all honesty, I also forgot to check up on sequence, so I'm not sure if say "9,2" will work.
Now having said all this, I have to rewrite the help topic, and at the same time try as many options as I can to make sure they do work as I have written them up.

Rich,
In the Emboss dialog, if you tab past the number of copies, you will find a group of radio buttons that determine the pages to be embossed. You can either arrow down to Braille Page Numbers or Sequence Page Numbers, depending on how you specify your page numbers. In your case, either one will probably work.
After selecting the appropriate radio button, tab once to find Page range. For the range, enter 14 followed by a hyphen followed by some arbitrarily high number well past the end of your document. Then tab to OK, or press Enter.
There may be other options, but Help isn't very helpful about saying what they are. I tried "14-*", but DBTW didn't like that, and showed an example for embossing pages 1 through 7, a blank page, and page 9. Incidentally, entering "B" causes a blank page to be embossed, which is neat, but it begs the question of whether there are other options.
I wonder if anyone on this list knows of other options, or can tell me where to find the complete syntax for this portion of the Emboss dialog. I hope my ramblings will help you, Rich.
