Hi Pavi,
You wrote: If you are using Microsoft word, you can do this by using the
insert page numbers tool.
Can you tell us, please, where to find this tool, under what menu and/or
submenu? This would be really, really helpful to use!

Susan and Others,
Thanks for all the excellent input on the subject of page numbers. Based on
all the feedback I've put together a revised draft of the policy and
included it below. Please let me know if there are any further refinements
we can make.
Thanks!
Pavi
In order to better ensure that readers are able to navigate books with ease
and that students working on assignments can keep up with class reading,
Bookshare has formed a new policy for page numbers.
All text books, educational books, non-fiction and best sellers submitted to
Bookshare are required to have page numbers on at least 90% of their pages
in order to be accepted. Page numbers will not be required for books that
do not have page numbers in the original text (this is sometimes the case
for children's books). For books in other categories, we will make
exceptions to this rule on a case by case basis as necessary.
Note: When editing with KES often times proofreaders will inadvertently
strip out page numbers along with headers. Please ensure that page numbers
are left intact.
What if the page numbers in a book don't scan?
If page numbers don't scan, the first thing to do is try adjusting your
scanner settings. If this doesn't work, where possible please number the
pages manually. If you are using Microsoft word, you can do this by using
the insert page numbers tool. If you run into trouble or are unable to
number the pages for some reason, please include a note for Bookshare
administration in the comments section regarding this when submitting or
checking in the book.

Hi Bookshare Staff,
As many of us do not have sighted assistance readily available, and all
books (when scanned do not recognize every page number), I offer the
following suggestions for your consideration:
1. If more than 10% of the page numbers in a book are not recognized by the
scanner, please do not automatically reject it from being admitted into the
Bookshare collection.
2. If the scanner can not recognize page numbers, please allow the submitter
or proofreader to indicate so in the comments section when completing the
submission form.
Thanks.
Susan
