Hi, Lissi. I'm glad what you did ended up working and everything ended up
fine. I know that's a relief! You're a great validator and put a lot of work
into everything you do, so I'm glad things ended up fine. Take care.

Dear Jamie, Julie, Evan and Booksharian Friends,
Good news for little adventure plotters. Doctor EEEK is in the collection
and the enhanced page numbers came through the tools in tact. Searching for
page numbers like p14 or p37 will get the kids exactly where they want to
go.
I know this, thanks to Claire who, when I wrote describing the possible
problem, quickly e-mailed me back with the bracing news that the book had
been approved weeks ago and that when she downloaded the daisy version, she
saw the p flagged page numbers.
I downloaded the BRF file on my Compaq Flash card and in minutes saw the
numbers in braille as I'd hoped they'd appear. Searching for them as I
instructed in a short note to readers brought me exactly to the page number
I was looking for.
So, unofficially, I suggest that when you validate a plot your own
adventure, placing a lower case p before the page number at the top of the
page, will help readers follow instructions and quickly find the page they
want to go to next.
If you just write the number by itself as you usually do for page numbers,
then searching for a number will bring up all of the places that number
appears in the book, making the search process tedious for young readers.
Julie, your supposition made sense and was worth checking.
Thanks to everyone and chalk up another happy ending to Bookshare.
Always with love,
Lissi

I don't know, just put both the regular page number on each page, and the
other one next to it on the same line maybe? or just below it, with a blank
line between, so it doesn't get stripped somehow?

I didn't think about that Julie. How would you go about marking the
pages so that they could have both a page number and a way to find the
correct page?
