If you are using MS Word then put ^n in the find box and if it finds anything, that is a column break.
The first time I found one in a book I was proofing, I submitted what I thought was a well proofed book. But the page that comes up after you upload the book said there was one less page break than page numbers. I said that can't be right--and I cancelled the submit. I paged through the book and everything was ok, just as I thought. I submitted it again, again one too few page breaks. I thought maybe there is a section break that didn't get converted to page break somehow. No, ^b in find found nothing. Finally I decided I'll try anything and put in ^n (I'm sighted so I thought if there are multiple columns on a page I would have seen it). Bingo, one column break. I used replace to put in a page break with blank lines around it, then submitted again. Voila, the number of pages and page breaks agree. So, apparently, you can have a column break but still only one column on a page. I don't know how to create a page like that, but apparently someone's ocr program did.
I'd be interested to know, if text is set up in columns on purpose, does a screen reader tell you when you have moved from one column to another, or does it just keep reading on as though nothing was different?

Hi Misha and everyone! How would I know if I ever encounter a column break? Debby At 06:17 AM 4/4/2013, misha wroteThe only thing I can think of is look for section breaks ^b or column breaks ^n in addition to page breaks. That would mess things up. Sometimes when I submit a book the total number of pages bookshare reports is not the same that I counted and when I searched for section or column breaks that's what caused the difference.Misha On 4/3/2013 8:30 AM, Tracy Carcione wrote:I worked on Dharma Vahini, and approved it twice now, but Madeleine keeps sending it back saying pages are missing. This is the 2nd time it's come bouncing back to me. I open the RTF file and go to the page she says is missing, and it's there, with a page number and a page break. Some of the ones she says are missing only have a page number and [blank page], being, well, blank in the book. I even did a search for ^m, to be sure there was a hard page break, and there is.I'm really mystified. Anyone have any ideas?
