I am just afraid if I leave them "just as they are" that it will be
re-paginated by the tool. In other words I don't think it can accept unnumbered
pages between numbered pages, especially since there is a table of contents
that clearly denotes which pages which chapter start on. It's very frustrating!
Thanks!
