Hi Gwen,
 
    I'm feeling your pain here.  How frustrating your situation sounds!  
 
    Unfortunately, this list doesn't accept attachments, I don't think.
Maybe if we had a bit more info, we could help.  I'd sure like to help you.

 
    Let's see if I can ask some questions that might help me to understand
better what's going on, so that maybe I can offer something constructive.
What scanning and OCR software are you using?  You say that your books are
being rejected due to missing pages, but you don't see any missing pages in
your document.  Is the complaint actually missing pages, or missing page
numbers? Is it possible that your OCR is set to ignore blank pages so that
your page numbering gets off?  Is there actual text missing in your books,
according to whoever is telling you there is a problem?  Who is noticing the
problem, a proofreader, or bookshare staff at the time the book is uploaded
to the approval queue for addition to the bookshare collection?  
 
Any info you can give will help.  Please don't give up yet!  There's
probably a solution.  

 Mayrie

I just can't seem to get my books to come out right,
I can read them here and they sound fine I look at each page and it all
seems to go in order,
all I erase are the headers being very careful to not erase any numbers
whatsoever
but still their are pages missing
I can't see the missing pages from here
if the attachment can be sent gonna send it to Bob he has all of his   books
approved because he is a pains takingly wonderful scanner and has been
putting out excellent books for years.
I hate to give up, it goes against my grain
but I can't keep working myself this hard without the book being excepted
and right so after some thinking for the next couple of days,
and yes for me prayer,
you may be less one volunteer because I've been working like crazy and
thought I would have a load of stuff to help out you folks, but so far all
I've been able to do is make a mess.
Thanks.
