O.K.
Cindy
O.K. I'll go back to doing that, except in the book that I just finished
proofing and uploading. I used to do that until someone, I think maybe Pratik,
pointed out that then it isn't a blank page any more. Since that time I have
numbered the blank pages as I numbered all other pages, i.e., leaving a blank
space after the page break, adding the page number, leaving a line space and
making the page break
Cindy
all blank pages should be indicated in the
