Julie, Monica and Sue S,
Thanks for your thoughts.
I figured out that the problem is bigger than I thought. Whoever scanned the
book began to scan two pages at once part way through the book, not in two-page
mode but with recognizing columns turned on. Somehow their method causes two
pages to be scanned at once and then a blank page to appear. On many of the
pages, I can find the page number for the second page in the scan and insert a
page break. In some of the pages, I cannot find the page number or any
indication of where the page break should occur. I believe that I can find and
correct enough of the missing page breaks so that the book will be missing
fewer than ten page breaks.
Still, I am frustrated because getting this book validated will take a lot more
work than I anticipated. I was on page 160 of the 300 page book before this
problem began. Since I have put so much work in validating this book I hope I
can complete it with fewer than 10 missing page breaks.
This is only my second validation; luckily I have seen Mike validate many books
with a lot of enjoyment, and that will spur me on.
Again, thanks for your responses.

Hi Lori,
I would go with Number 1, only I would just put the words blank page.

Hi, Everyone,
I am validating "tar Baby" and have run into a problem with numbering pages.
In the book the page number seems to be only on the righthand page in the
upper corner. I have been adding the "missing number" to the top of the left
page so that every page of the text will be numbered.Page breaks are fine.
Suddenly around page 175, blank pages are occurring every five pages or so.
I am validating an ark file with openbook.
These pages are not being added. When I check the pagination of the book if
numbered these blank pages would fall right into the numeric sequence of the
book. There is also no missing text. I downloaded the nls web Braille
version of the book to my bookport and am comparing the text when these blank
pages occur.
However, these blank pages are appearing often enough that I think it would
be annoying to mark each one and insert the words "this page is blank." On the
other hand, I do not like to change the actual page numbers as printed in the
book. I can't understand why there are so many blank pages as occasionally the
blank page will occur right in the middle of a sentence.
Does anyone have thoughts about whether I should 1) number these blank pages
and identify the pages as blank so that the numbers remain sequential, 2) take
out the blank pages and have some page numbers missing but the remaining ones
match the print book, or 3) leave out the blank pages altogether and change the
page numbering of the file so that pages are sequential?
Sorry to go on so long but wanted to explain clearly the problem I am having.
Thanks.
