What Mary suggests means you make the changes on the copy you personally use and do not make those changes of adding "page" on a book you are validating. That way, you solve your personal dilemma without effecting a copy which will go into the collection.
Hope her idea works for you. E. At 12:45 PM 11/10/2008, you wrote:
Hi Roger, I think that your page numbering suggestion might mess up the stripper, which also provides the page numbers in daisy and brf files. I'd prefer to see people who want what you want to make such changes using the find and replace dialogue after they have downloaded the book from Bookshare. This can easily be done by replacing the page break symbol in a document with that symbol followed by the word page. In daisy files, the page numbers are announced by the daisy reader, and aren't necessarily a printed part of the file.

Okay, here is an extra and keep in mind that this is an extra and I am not actually requesting that anyone do this. When I am reading a book with a synthetic voice I notice that there are occasional numbers sprinkled throughout the text. There may be only a few in the case of a novel when a character asks the price of an item for sale or mentions how many miles it is to the next town or there may be a lot in the case of a cookbook or most especially in the case of a math textbook. In all cases, though, it is not necessarily always clear when a page number is being read. To make this clear the validator who wants to do something extra could add the word page before each page number and then a phrase at the end of a page like, "how many miles is it to the next town?" page 82 "About four," he answered, can be clear.
