Hi Folks,
Blank lines before and after page numbers has always been correct until now.
And I have always been told that the text of the book needs to be at 12 point,
no exception! When did this change?

Uh, when did that change? From the beginning of my volunteering I recall being
told that a blank line must appear before the page number to keep the converter
from stripping out that page number. I was also told that a blank line needed
to be placed after the page number and I was not quite clear on why that was
until relatively recently when an old timer on this list explained that it was
to help the converter find the page number. Every time the subject has come up
on this list since I first subscribed the conclusion has been consistent with
what I just explained. Did something change and it slipped by me?

Hi everyone,
Sorry for my delayed response to these questions. I do get each email
individually, but, as you may imagine, when you combine the discussion list
with my other emails, it’s a lot of volume!
Page numbers must be on their own line with NOTHING ELSE on that line. They
must be font size 12 or less. The converter will remove blank lines so if you
want to put blank lines in, fine, but the converter will remove them. The only
requirement for our converter to recognize page numbers is that they be size 12
font or less and on their own line with nothing else. It doesn’t require blank
lines above and below.
Please let me know if you need more clarification.
Best,
