Thanks all! Very good advice & information. I expect I will move the
bottom-line page numbers to the top. There aren't THAT many.

The tools are supposed to move page numbers at the bottom to the top, but I
don't trust the tools to be all that smart. If most of the page numbers are at
the top then when a few page numbers are at the bottom I move them to the top.
The question about the formatting of page numbers may refer to preliminary
pages. If there are pages before page one - I hate that - they should be
numbered in lower case Roman numerals. If they are already numbered in Roman
numerals and there are pages before Roman numeral one then those should be
numbered separately in capitalized Roman numerals.

Hi William, Firstly, yes, it would be good to put a number on those
unnumbered pages. Secondly, there is no need to have the page number at the
same place on every page. If the numbers are there, on a line by themselves,
Bookshare’s tools will find them. Thirdly, I’m not aware of any correct format
for the page numbers. I’m not even sure what that means. If you mean whether
they should be centered on a line, on the left or flush on the right, I don’t
think it matters, as in my answer to your second question. If you mean
something else, I have no idea. Evan From: William Korn (Redacted sender

Some books don't print a page number for every page. For example, one
book I read did not print a page number if there was a full-page illustration
on the page. Should I add it? Some books place the page number in a
different place on the page depending on circumstances. For instance, I am
scanning a book of short stories. The page number on the first page of a story
is centered on the bottom line of the page, while the page numbers for all
other pages are on the top line (left or right side). Should I move the
"oddball" page numbers to match the rest? Just out of curiosity, is there a
"proper format" for page numbers? If so, what is it? I see a reference to it
in the help sections, but not what it is. Bill Korn
