Hi Rick.The manual is unclear about what to do with page numbers, but I think they are preferred at the top of the page.
When I find page numbers at the bottom of the page, however, I leave them there if they are consistently there. Frankly, I'm not going to take the time and effort to move hundreds of page numbers from the bottom to the top of a page, nor do I expect a scannor to do that. Some people move them, and I admire them for it, but tedium is not my strong suit.
However, concerning the missing chapter headings, I do put them in, because that's an integral part of the book. In fact, one of the first things I do with a book that has a table of contents is to check the last chapter to see if the page number for that chapter matches the kurzweil number for that page, making allowances for all the preliminary pages. If they match, then I know I'm lucky and the chances of missing or duplicated pages is very small. If they don't match, then I try to find the last place they do, and thus narrow down the place where missing, or duplicated pages might exist.
Hope this helps. Bob----- Original Message ----- From: "RJ / KJ" <d28rik@xxxxxxx>

When submitting a book do we not ask the persons scanning to go ahead andmove page numbers to the top of the page and have that blank line above andbeyond the page number itself?The book I downloaded to validate the other day and just opened this morninghas all of the page numbers at the bottom of the page. So I am wondering,are you folks who validate books, are you doing this work, going through the document, finding each page at the bottom of each and every page, and movingit to the top? Or am I just doing stuff I had not ought to be doing? In other words, is this part of your routine when validating? Headings Chapter titles. If they are missing from the book, what is your way of handling it?In this book I do not find text of some chapter titles. They are listed withcorresponding page numbers in a table of contents. But all the chapter titles I am not finding. I could play detective, and insert them. But I feel a bit uncertain about going about it this way. Is this a fixable thing, or what would you advise Thanks.
