Yes, you are correct, Cindy; we no longer have to move page numbers. The conversion tools take care of that.

I used to put them at the top, left, but didn't bookshare recently say that the conversion process was going to take care of placing page numbers and we don't have to worry about anything but make sure that they're there?Am I wrong?

To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Monday, June 1, 2009, 6:50 PM Hi again Megan. Actually, I've found that page numbers are very important in proofreading a book. I don't move them, if they are at the bottom I leave them at the bottom, if they are at the top I leave them at the top. I think some folks prefer them at the top but that seems to me to be tampering with the book's original content and I don't do it. But, if page numbers are present you can tell whether or not a page has been skipped or duplicated. I use Kurzweil to do most of my editing. The first thing I do is determine where the real page 1 is: after all the front matter. Then I set Kurzweil to recognize this as page 1. Then I go to the last page, at least the last page with a page number and see if Kurzweil has the same page count. If so, then you're lucky. If not that means there are missing pages or duplicated pages. Sometimes someone will scan a book in two page mode. In that case there will be page numbers without corresponding page breaks. Usually it's two pages between page breaks. Then you have to go through and put a page break where the new pages are. I hate doing that because it's grunt work and can take a long time. Anyway, you see why I consider page numbers important?

I'm just wondering where I put the page numbers when I'm proofreading a book, at the top or the bottom? And, since I don't have the original book to go buy, do I just start at 1 where the actual text goes and just assume each pagebreak is where it should be and go forward from there? Thanks.
