Scott, I wasn't talking about removing blank pages, just about putting such a phrase as "this page is blank" on the page. I would also be sure that this page had a number if this were necessary to preserve continuity. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott Rains" <scottr@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Jill, Maybe this section of the manual helps: https://wiki.benetech.org/display/BSO/4.+Proofreading+a+Book#4.ProofreadingaBook-don%27tremoveblankpages Scott Rains Benetech Fellow, Bookshare Volunteer Department ________________________________________From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Valerie Maples [vlmaples@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]Sent: Friday, June 18, 2010 11:26 AM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: designating blank pages Hi, Jill!I think it is helpful for people when there is a blank page to have it mentioned so that the place is held and they know that they did not miss any text or pictures. I know that when I am reading a book and I see a page with no information I always wonder if it was missed in the scan or something. For people who have learning disabilities it confirms to them that they are not missing any text or information.I guess it's a personal preference, but I like to know that someone just didn't miss something. I have proof read too many books where a page number was there and there was no information, but there was print in the real book. This eliminate any question.Valerie On Jun 18, 2010, at 12:12 PM, Jill O'Connell wrote:Most of my reading from Bookshare is in braille. There pages are denoted by a braille line and the page number. The book I am currently reading is one done in office. There is never the words "blank page" or something similar, but I have no problem about this as the braille line and page number are certainly self-explanatory. My question then is, why are we as scanners or proofers going to the trouble of writing in "this page is blank."
