I am with you, Roger!  And, once I left the line out after the number (maybe a 
year ago?) and the page numbers were in the text.  I don't trust the "tool" and 
protect all my page numbers with a blank line before and after.

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?
