Hi Jamie,

Unfortunately, and sorry I'm not Debby, but Word's page numbering function
doesn't work for rtf files, which we need to upload to bookshare.  Even if
the page numbers appear, they're a function of Word, but appear outside the
field of text so aren't an actual part of the rtf file's text.  So, page
numbering has to be done by hand if it needs doing.  Sorry to bring news
that means more work.

Happy proofreading.

Mayrie

Hi, Debby, thanks for the hints and tips.  Do you put the numbers at the
bottom or the top?  I did see an option for Word to number pages, and have
you done this and does it work?  Have a blessed day.
