Hi Lisa and others,
Please don't guess at page numbers and then put them in the file according to
where you think they should go. If you can get a sighted proofer to help you
identify some of the numbered pages and then fill in the missing numbers from
there then that's fine, but please don't just arbitrarily choose a spot and
start numbering. We'd like the book's content to be as close to the original
print book as possible. If you can't access the page numbers from either the
file you have or with help from another volunteer then please reject the book.
You can still finish reading your copy if you like, but please don't proof and
upload it with missing or incorrect page numbers.
Thanks!

If there are no page numbers in the print version then add them yourself. A big
advantage to this is that you can start numbering them on page one and not be
bothered with Roman numerals for preliminary pages. I always have disliked page
one starting any number of pages into the book.

Hi Friends,
I recently checked out a very challenging book. I already turned the section
breaks to page breaks, took out a url, took out a field, and did some other
formatting. However, the book has no page numbers. Should I release it for a
sighted proofer? Or can I simply put a page number on each page, and hope I
get it right?
I like the book, so I'd rather not release it. However, if it would be better
done by a sighted proofer, I want it to be done properly.
Any advice would be great.
Thanks,
Lisa
