I came across a formatting problem, too. I'm proofing a poem and the page numbers are in yellow. It's a Daisy thing, apparently. I did finally figure out to change the page numbers to normal word font by going to the headings file and scrolling all the way to the bottom. There I foound out it was Daisy and clicking on it mad it revert to normal word. Do people who scan in daisy submit in Daisy?? --- On Mon, 6/6/11, Kim Friedman <kimfri11@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > From: Kim Friedman <kimfri11@xxxxxxxxxxx> > Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Yeah definitely formatting help needed > To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Date: Monday, June 6, 2011, 11:43 PM > Hi, Mike, every page has this heading > level.
