Dear Paula,
You are so, so, so, welcome here! All of the volunteers keep Bookshare
popping, but as you can see by the large number of books on the step one
page, there's lots of work for validators.
Except for Gerald and Jake, who are our moderators and whose advice is
accurate, in keeping with policy and always helpful, lots of us will speak
up and help any way we can. Just don't be surprised to find we tend to put
our own spin on our work so advice will vary.
In the case of your book, I think the most official answer is that you can
reject the book because it's required that all of the page breaks be
present.
If I had your book, and the page numbers of the pages without page breaks
were there. In other words, if it was easy to see where the missing page
breaks belonged, I'd just put them in. I use jaws and Microsoft word 2003
and use control enter to insert a page break.
If you aren't sure how to edit or upload, feel free to ask. You'll need to
tell us what software you're using because different systems involve
different commands. I'm learning Kurzweil, which is very popular here, so
I'm learning new tricks myself!.
I'm a careful validator, but a pokey one. I enjoy reading the books as I
validate, so inserting corrections along the way tends to sharpen my
concentration. But, as much as I like to avoid rejecting books, if page
breaks were missing and it wasn't clear where they belonged, I'd reject the
book and indicate that the lack of half of the page breaks was the reason.
Keep us posted. You'll love it when you get that first book approved!
Always with love,
Lissi

Hi list friends,
If a person submitted a book such that page breaks exist only at every
other
page, because the submitter scanned two pages at once, but didn't adjust
for
same in his/her OCR software settings, should I reject the book, or can I
approve the book, since page breaks do exist, but only at two-page
intervals.
Thanks,
Paula
