Jamie, I'm thinking there is a possibility that this book had some soft page breaks. Did you, by chance, adjust the paper size in your page setup dialog? I'm assuming you were using Microsoft Word. Word puts in soft page breaks, which are really not there, but they are meant to show you where the page would end if you were to print it on the paper size that you have selected. If you go to file and page setup, select paper size, choose custom size, set that to 8.5 by 22, press okay, and tell it to ignore the margins set outside the printable area, these usually go away. Also, with Window-Eyes, and, I believe Jaws, you will hear the words page break, if you are actually at a page break. If you encounter a soft page break, you will hear something like page 3, and if you were to arrow back up you would hear page 2. You wouldn't hear the word break at all. I hope I didn't explain something you already knew, and that it will be helpful to you in the future.

Hi, maybe I used the wrong wording, but when I hear my jaws say page so and so and I hear it say a page number slightly smaller on a different page or in the middle of a page surrounded by blank lines and the pages without a blank line at the top, even though it's not as major as page break issues as you described, still there are issues that someone experienced in page issues and bookshare preferences related to them should fix them. I'm not clear about what the manual says and yes I've read the manual before anybody asks, yes, I did do my homework, LOL!!!! Thanks and have a blessed day. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Valerie Maples" <vlmaples@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, April 21, 2010 5:22 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: book available for proofing, had to releaseHey, Judy!I only said that because of the way she said it had "discrepancies and inconsistencies" which implied to me it likely meant page break issues as well. I saw a book that had about 400 pages according to the TOC, but the collection book had 238, so there was no viable way to figure it out since it was not 2:1 as in unsplit double pages. Books like that usually need to be rescanned due to inappropriate or insufficient page breaks. If it is a simple thing of needing reference points to simply add numbers, I agree with releasing.Like everyone else thought, though, I think being able to leave reasons for releasing would be VERY helpful!Valerie On Apr 21, 2010, at 2:13 PM, Judy s. wrote:Actually, I have to disagree with you on this one, Valerie. smile. I agree, given Jackie's explanation, with Jackie's choice to release the book instead of rejecting it. Many of the experienced proofreaders here are able to easily figure out page numbering problems without it taking very much time.Having a comment added on why it was released would sure be helpful, though!Judy s Valerie Maples wrote:Dear Jamie;It sounds like it needed to be rejected, not released, if the pagination is problematic. You could write to Carrie and see what she suggests, but they need to have a comment in the history in all likelihood.Valerie On Apr 21, 2010, at 9:10 AM, Jamie Prater wrote:Hi, all, since I'm not positive what bookshare wants in the way of page numbers and unfortunately, I saw discrepancies and inconsistencies, I have no choice to release it since I'm not skilled at solving page numbering puzzles no matter how minor. I hate to do this as the book did sound interesting and an easy read/proofread. If anybody wants to take another stab at it, it is You may all prophesy by Steve Thompson. I appreciate the effort of the submitter in making this book available and I pray I do not offend anybody by doing this.
