Check the book history to find out if the person who scanned the book left an email. If so, you can ask if the scanner sees all those extra pages in his or her file to find out if your word or K1000 put them in. If there is no email address you will probably have to reject the book with a comment about too many blank pages. I hate rejecting books, but some really would take more time to fix than to rescan.

Oy... Kurzweil is even confused. It says that there are 695 pages in the original file, and in the updated one, it says there are 395. There should be around 455 give or take a few with the front and back matter. LOL! Not sure whether to release it or reject it. I'd hate to reject it, but I'm running out of options. On another note, MS Word now says there are 476 pages, so I'm getting closer. -Alyssa -----Original Message----- From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Melissa Smith Sent: Monday, April 18, 2011 7:24 PM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Page Issue Well, sounds like a real bugger. Do you by any chance have K1000? I've often had weird things like this fix themselves if I open and save the file in K1000 and then reopen it in Word, but it doesn't work every time.

I'd probably try this on a test file first. There is a character for whitespace, which is ^w which might get rid of the blank lines after the page breaks.

Those I deleted in word by byping ^k^p^p into thefindand replace box. Others have the page break followed by a blank line and then 2 paragraph markers. Unfortunately, I have no clue what thecharacteris for deleting the blank lines. Still others are actually soft page breaks. LOL. I discovered this themoreI got into the book last night. I changed the paper size but to no avail. Do you have any other suggestions?

I did not have WordandI was about to give up on it because I thought that I would have to proofitagain line by line removing each extraneous page break. I finally hit onasolution. I was able to remove them in Wordpad. First, the most recent versions of JAWS will not read page breaks in Wordpad. I had to go backtoan earlier version of JAWS that would. I think it was version 9. Then, noting that the extraneous page breaks were each right up against a character while the page breaks I wanted to keep had a blank line beforeandafter them, I did a find and replace for each letter of the alphabet and every punctuation mark I could think of. I used the find function to find the character with a page break right affter it with no space. I replaceditwith just the character and all the unwanted page breaks vanished. Ittooktwenty-six operations for each letter of the alphabet and then more forthepunctuation marks, but it was a lot easier than proofing the whole thing again. _ _ _ "The ruling class makes wars and the working class fights them." - EugeneV.Debs Follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/rogerbailey81 The Militant: http://www.themilitant.com Pathfinder Press: http://www.pathfinderpress.com Granma International: http://www.granma.cu/ingles/index.html ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alyssa"<lyssassong@xxxxxxxxxxx> To:<bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, April 18, 2011 12:44 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Page IssueOkay, so JAWS was being flaky. Apparently these are hard page breaksafterall! Not sure why it wasn't seeing them in that manner at first, unlessithad to do with blank lines I was able to get rid of. Anyway, is there a method for removing blank pages in Kurzweil or MS Word? I'm about tolookfor myself but wanted to ask here in case I do not find anything. I realize that Bookshare wants them to be there, but I believe it would be easiertoinsert them where appropriate rather than arrowing through a file linebyline in search of the ones that do not belong.

The book appears to have double the amount of pages it should. When Ichecked,it seems that before each hard page break, there is something else which appears to be another type of break. I am guessing that this may be asoftpage break but do not know for certain. If anyone else has seen thisandknows more about what I am referring to, please help me get rid of these in one swoop. Otherwise, this is going to be a very tedious process.
