Hey Lin, That's something to agree with here and all of the explanations are extremely helpful! As a first time proof reader any help is appreciated and grateful for those of us who are just starting out with this process of scanning or proof reading. Thanks for all the examples and support here from everyone who's been helping me with my first and second book smiles! Have a great day too!

Hi Kristin, That is what you want, is page numbers with nothing else on the line. Please don't remove them. The page numbers are important! Your page should be formatted like this: Page break Blank Line Page number Blank line Text on the page Blank line Next page break. Or, if page numbers appear at the bottom and you don't want to move them, the page should look like this: Page break Blank line Text on the page Blank line Page Number Blank line Next page break. And finally, no matter where the page numbers appear elsewhere in the book, pages containing chapter headings should be formatted like this: Page break Blank line Page number Blank line Chapter title or heading Blank line Text on the page Blank line Next page break. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Hey everyone! I am currently proof reading Death in Paradise by Carolyn Hart. Is it natural for page numbers to appear without text next to it? That's what I'm experiencing here in this novel and I just wanted your opinions on it. Right now I'm removing them however if they need to be left alone then I will reenter them. If anyone has any suggestions then I'd greatly appreciate any help with this stuff. Thanks a bunch for all of your support and help with this project of proof reading this book. Hopefully everyone is having a great day!
