Hi Carmella,
This has happened to me several times. Here’s how to fix it, but you have
to do it every time you close and re-open your file.
Hold down alt and hit v, which will bring up the view menu.
Hit n, which stands for normal.
I save it with control and s but it doesn’t seem to do anything.
The file can go to bookshare and ends up just fine on the bookshare site. HTH!

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Pages being skipped while moving down line by line
Hi everyone, I had an interesting situation with the book I'm currently
working on. I'm hoping this doesn't cause problems when the book is added to
the collection. I wonder if, in the original scan, the pages were side by side
and are somehow laid out in the file in such a way that they aren't one right
after the other the way they should be. Let me explain why I think this may
be happening.
When I am going through the file line by line and it reaches the end of a
page, it skips the next page. For example, I'm arrowing down line by line
reading page 21. When I reach the end of page 21, and go to the next page
JAWS announces "Page 23." Sure enough, page 22 has been skipped over. So,
whatever the new page would be in the book was skipped too. I started out by
just going to the end of the last line on page 21 and then using my arrow keys
to move over instead of directly down and there would be page 22. I could
then edit that page and when I got to the end of it, I would do the same
thing to get to page 23. Otherwise, if I just did it moving down by line, it
would jump to page 24. The actual book pages coincide with the page breaks,
of course. There's an announced page break and then the running header and
page number in the book.
So, I was able to navigate it, but I wanted to get rid of this problem. I
eventually fixed it so that it would go from the end of page 21 to the
beginning of page 22 and so on, reading right through the text in page order.
I'm not sure how I did that exactly. I think I was messing around with
margins. But in the process of doing so, I messed up the page breaks. I
thought that as long as the page numbers were right, page breaks didn't really
matter, but the book was sent back to me to redo maintaining the original
page breaks. I've done some reading in the archives and understand the
importance of page breaks as far as the visual presentation of the book and
it being as similar as possible to the original, I think. I understand that
better now, I think, and get the importance of keeping them. At least, I'm
hoping I've kept them. The only thing I didwas set the paper size to 22. I
didn't want to do anything else as far as any margins or anythng when I editted
it this time, vecause I didn't want to mess up the page breaks. I had to redo
all the editting again. That's no problem. I just went back to my original
navigation method. I've editted using the method of arrowing sideways instead
of down at the end of pages so that no pages get skipped.
I'm sure I'll get feedback from ML when I resubmit the book. I've still got a
chapter and a half or so to finish reeditting. I was just wondering if any of
you had thoughts about this. Like I said, my concern is if the pages will be
jumbled up when the book is ready to be submitted to the collection. I also
wonder if this is a common problem and if anyone else has dealt with it. I'm
just curious as to anyone's thoughts on this.
If this has been discussed before and could be in the archives, I don't mind
searching there. Someone can just say so. Its a little tedious to navigate the
list archives. They're not the most user friendly for blind readers, but its
doable. I know people can get tired of repeating themselves, or someone who
may have had good info before is not on the list now, etc. I just figured I'd
ask first before checking there.
Thanks in advance.
