HI Jill,
What I meant is, I had this one svery frustrating book I was validating.
Somehow, the page breaks, etc, got all messed up-it was that way when I got
it for validation. I went onto Amazon, or one of the book sites and got the
correct number of pages from there, then fixed the book so it had around
that number. It happened to have a ton of extra pages, page breaks in the
middle of pages, etc-it was a mess. I went through and put in the page
numbers myself by hand. I was asked not to do this.
Perhaps Carrie or someone could clarify more about this..
Caitlyn

Caitlyn, Exactly what do you mean by "hand numbering pages?" Often, for
various reasons the scanner does not see the page number; in that case I
fill it in. Also when a page number is at the bottom of the page where a new
chapter begins, I write in that number at the top of the page in order to
protect the name of the chapter from the stripper. Perhaps you mean
something different than these examples. All of my books have thus far been
accepted. Jill
