Hi Netta,
No coffee? You poor thing; I can’t function without my coffee! We have
been told that the bookshare tools put the numbers on the top so we don’t have
to do it anymore. Are you saying that they (the tools) don’t? I put them on
the top anyway because I get lost when I’m trying to proof. Like Roger, I have
no idea about left or right. HTH

I know that this thread has been going for a while and i have waited responding
to it but I can't hold my tongue any longer.
I think that page numbers should uniform in Bookshare. I have great
difficulties when I am trying to cite something in a book and sometimes the
page numbers are on top and others on the bottom. Since my usable sight isn't
worth ****, I often mis"cite" on the work cited. I get away with it (sometimes
and when I have a sympathetic instructor) because I "pull" the blind card and
explain that the book is in DAISEY format and sometimes the page numbers are
off by 1 or 2 pages. Now I know this is incorrect but for the dang near 35
points that they often take off, the lie is worth it to maintain my 3.8 GPA.
So, what I am saying is why not stick with one uniform way in a book? Top,
bottom, left, or right...just pick one and stay with it since Bookshare does
not have a mandated way where to place page numbers.
OK, I'm done...sorry if I was biting too hard but I haven't had my first cup of
coffee *smile*
