Man I didn't mean to stir up trouble here on the list. I just wanted to know
how to address this situation with this specific book. Normally somewhere along
the text of the novel page numbers appear and I handle them whenever they
appear in the text. When they do appear here's the format I've been told to
follow from Mary Reenigh of text, blank line, page break with the page number
on it, another blank line and lastly the remaining text of the following page.
I'm going to create a simple example here and I hope this helps and I apologize
for the simplicity of it. "Amnd now I'm all alone.
2
Nowhere to turn nowhere go to without a home without a friend without a face to
say hello too." These are some lyrics that are running around in my head from
Les Meserables and I hope it helps with the concept of page numbers and page
breaks for you. It's only in this situation that makes it different because
normally I have some type of a number to keep track of throughout the book. I
hope this makes more sense, and I apologize again for stirring up trouble here.
I hope this helps clarify things for everyone and I hope everyone is having a
spectacular day and evening! Thanks for all your suggestions and help here!

sorry I didn't know about them....its not in the manual and I did read it
recently after the new site went live.
I thought this was a place to ask questions....
I was trying to learn and work hard on my proofing and scanning.
I apologize for not knowing what the policy is.
I haven't been able to read every post on the list....I work and have other
responsibilities....
I volunteer for booksshare as a hobby and something that I enjoy....
There are times when my life is busy that I have to leave the list and don't
have time to read the post.
I must have missed whatever your referring to Sue.
Thank you for the information.

there are no page numbers because Linda strips out the headers carefully
with k1000.
I have read through the new mannual and it doesn't give any instruction on
page numbers so when it strips them out I delete the few that are left.
I leave them if its a non fiction book.
I know I don't like hearing double page numbers when reading on the victor.
and that is how it reads if page numbers are left in.
But I am not sure if the daisy format needs the page numbers.
I read the mannual and it doesn't address this or other more specific
things that are ideal for scanning or proofing a book.
I put a blank line at the top of every page in case the book share tool
strips out text.
We aren't sure so its good to leave a blank line at the top of the page
like your doing.
I had a book that the rtf I submitted was ok but when it was in the
collection and downloaded some words were missing.
My original file had the words there.
The book was replaced and I spent all that time working on it.
So I am not sure what causes the book share tool to strip out things and
how it works....
I now make sure a blank line is at the top of all pages and hope that
doesn't happen again.
Its discouraging to put so much into a book and the proofer does as well
then its just replaced.
Hope this helps somewhat....sorry I don't know more...

Hey everyone!
Hopefully everyone is having a spectacular evening and I just had a quick
page numbering question. I'm currently proofing Code of Honor and there seems
to be no page numbers. I totally understand they aren't important for proofing
but can be helpful too. However, if I see any numbers then I will insert them
however here is the current format I'm using without the actual page numbers
and I wanted to verify this was right. Okay text, two blank lines, page break,
one blank line, and text. Here's an example of what I'm referring too here. "
"Do you care?" Selena's gray-haired dad asked. <?xml:namespace prefix = o
ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Then he lifted a wrinkled hand." Again I understand page numbers aren't
crucial but can be helpful for other reading tools. If I need to change the
format here then please just let me know and I'll gladly change it. Any
suggestions would be very much appreciated too. Thanks for all of your help and
I look forward to getting this novel into the collection soon.
Thanks
Kristin
