Cindy,
Sorry, if I'm understanding you correctly now, it sounds like you got a hold
of a book with section breaks that had been globally replaced with page
breaks. Not all section breaks signify a new page, and Word's global search
and replace can't distinguish among the different kinds, so changing them to
page breaks (^b for ^m) will sometimes cause page breaks to appear in odd
places. You'll find section breaks in Carrie's scans, but it's been a while
since she changed her settings to prevent FineReader from adding the kind
which don't specify a page break, so you probably won't run across any of
the other kinds in one of her scans now and may not get to see an example of
them.
Converting ARK to RTF doesn't affect the page breaks, but the page length
can be longer than the scanned page due to OB's putting blank lines between
paragraphs. This causes some of the pages to spill over to a second page,
increasing the page count. Changing the paper size from Letter to Legal
should clear this up in Word. You can find the paper size under the Page
Setup submenu under the File menu. You'll need to change to the Paper tab
to locate it, though.

Well, that wasn't my question, thanks. There were/are probably more than 10%
missing, but my question was this:
Some of the page changes are after only ten lines and the reason for them
doesn't make sense. I can see it around the beginning of chapters and the
like, but just in the midst somewhere, I don't get any reason for them.
Think
in the future I'll scan because I know how to do that. I can't reject it now
because I've read it from cover to cover and corrected most of the errors in
it.
That does point up another question though. If you change a file from an
.ark
file to an .rtf file, do you have more page changes than you would have page
breaks? I had changes of pages that, because I was in Word, the computer
said
"Page 75", but there is no page break there. Are they actually new pages
with
regard to the book? If not, that would answer my other question and make me
wonder just exactly what to do with the book for sure. I might have to
reject
it then because I had to renew it already.

Cindy,
Removing all of the page breaks will result in the book being rejected.
Books must have page breaks in order to provide correct page navigation in
the DAISY books and original page numbers in the BRF books. The guideline
Lisa gave me in regards to rejecting books with missing page breaks is if
the book is missing more than 10% of the page breaks, then it should be
rejected. Note that this is a guideline, not a requirement, so use your
best judgement, but be willing to reject if there are a lot of page breaks
missing.

Well, I thought I had subscribed to the list long time ago. No wonder I
didn't know how. So following is the message I had sent when I wasn't
subscribed. Yup! I'm a pretty darned good volunteer.

Hi, List,
First off, I am not sure to what address one E-mails to the volunteer list.
I
am on it, I might add. *smile* Anyway, I have a question. This question
probably would be a good one to discuss in the chat room, but I have no
microphone yet. Anyway, here's the question:
I am proofreading a book in which all of the new pages do not have page
breaks, but many do. Some of the pages are short, like ten lines, and refer
to new pages, but there is no page break and there is no reason why such a
page break would really need to be there. Does this screw up the software as
they attempt to make the book user friendly? If so, how do you get out the
page breaks? I have not edited RTF files before.
Thanks.
Cindy Lou Ray
