Hi, Lissi. And you're doing a fine job! <smile> We all started out not
knowing a lick about what we were doing. I know I did, and I still don't
claim that *everything* I do is right when it comes to scanning, submitting
and/or validating. That's what's so great about this list. Take care.

Oops, forgive me, I forgot the keystrokes for adding a page break would send
the message. I'll try again being more careful
first example of Lissi's format
page number at the top

Julie is right that often page headers have the page number on the same
line. My personal routine is to delete the header and leave the page number
which I always place at the left margin.
I will never ever suggest that my way is the best or only way. I'm just
sharing my approach. Obviously Bookshare is pleased with most of our uploads
despite some differences in formatting.
Keep in mind that time isn't a factor for me. My first year my average was
over a month per book, including some short children's books. I was working
like crazy to achieve that much with some time out for health issues.
This year I'm averaging a book a week and I'm happy with that. I also
understand how to manage my queue, not taking many books so my turn around
time will be fairly quick and no book will wait for months to be validated.
I think I'm qualified to matriculate to third grade in validating and if it
weren't for patiently given advice from many of you, I'd still be spinning
in place in kindergarten.
Always with love,
Lissi
