Hi Marty,
Have you tried setting your zoom to 75 or 100%? Does that help at all and
maybe stick better?
Just hoping to give you another option that maybe you won't have to do every
time you open a document. How frustrating that must be!

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!
Marty

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.
