Hi, Mayrie, I went to check out my file again from Bookshare and would you believe it, it had all those lovely Roman numerals I'd put in it, so I had my proofread file I'd sent up. What a relief! Mind you, I still have the untouched file with scanos and all in my proofread folder. So now I have a proofread file, a copy of same proofread and that file from the submitter. I guess what heartens me is that you've been there before me. If this is not approved, I'm going to release the damned thing in hopes somebody can solve that page conundrum, though I really hate doing it. The text is okay (or at least I think it is). At any rate I got rid of every scano I caught, etc. I did write Debby Franson just recently and described what I hear my screen reader say and what I understand the file to look like. The page breaks are there. Oh, heck, I'm going to play some mindless game or other to take my mind off this. I hate to say it, but I can harp on something that bugs me and this thing does since I have worked on it nearly a month and to be bitten by that page break thing is not making me particularly happy. Bless you for your sympathy. Regards, Kim. -----Original Message----- From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Mayrie ReNae Sent: Sunday, July 04, 2010 10:56 PM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Proofread file Hi Kim, The only copy of the file that contains all of your edits is the one on your computer. If you download the file from bookshare again, you'll be downloading the original, unedited file again. If you want to work on your edited file, but don't want to make changes that you won't have to worry about messing up what you've already done, you can do this. Open your edited file. Hit the alt key to open the menus. You will be in the file menu. Down arrow to "save as". Now your file name shows up. Alter it in some way that you'll understand is going to denote a file that you intend to play with. For example, if your book is entitled "Jack and Jill". With the file extension rtf after it, simply change the file name in the edit box that you're sitting in to something like this "Jack and Jill For experimenting". Also with the rtf extension on it. Now, tab to the "ok" button and hit enter. Close word, to be absolutely certain that you're not working in the file that you want to save. Go to the place on your computer where the two files are saved and open your experimentation file and mess about all you like. Once you've solved your problems, you can either save the changes in that file or not, and then open the original edited file that you didn't want to mess up and make the changes that caused the fix that you wanted and make those changes in that file just as you made them in your experimental file and save the file by pressing control plus s. On the topic of your question about a page break that is present where you don't want it. You didn't answer Debby's question as to when you arrow past said page break. She asked whether your screen reader announces "page break" or just the number of the page you're going to. If the latter is what is happening, it's a safe guess that the page break that you have and think you don't want is a soft page break. That is, a page break inserted by Word because your page length isn't allowing your entire text of the page to fit on one page. To solve this, simply increase the length of page in the page set-up dialogue under the file menu. This should make the unwanted page break disappear if it is indeed a soft page break. Sorry, I know that all of this seems complicated and drawn out. And I know how frustrating it can feel when new tasks come along to be learned. I feel your pain. We've all been there. Good luck, and let us know what you try and when you get the results that you want, how you achieve them. We'll cheer along with you once you jump this hurdle. Good luck!

I want to look at it and get understanding of editing it, particularly of this pagination thing. I have the file I worked with and I really don't want to make a copy of the scan and proofread the whole darned thing over again as I spent nearly a month on it. Do I go to my checked out books? No. I did go there and it's not there. If I download my book again, will it be that scan or what I did? Thanks for the help. Maybe I shouldn't feel frustrated but I am feeling beset. I'm afraid of messing up my proofread file irretrievably. Regards, Kim. P.S.: No, I don't intend to scream or kick my feet on the floor. I'm too old for that sort of thing even though there's a little brat screaming for all she is worth inside my head.
