That was extremely helpful and cleared up a lot for me. I guess that's why I
like validating in Kurzweil best.. Thank you.

Page breaks are specific characters in the file. On the braille note page breaks are denoted by dots 1 2 4 6 followed by an f. When using Kurzweil page breaks are handled differently. Kurzweil only loads in to memory and displays one page at a time. That means that it does not show you or tell you about the page break character, but it does tell you about pages. You here it announce a new page number when you switch pages by arrowing up or down. You also move through pages when you press pageup and pagedown. In many programs that command only moves by screens full of text, but in Kurzweil it really does move by what could be real print pages. It uses the character in the file to know what is on a page. The only exception is when you have a large file without any page breaks at all. Then Kurzweil decides that you need it broken up a little so it puts in some arbitrarily placed page breaks. If the file seems long but only has a small number of pages that might be the case. You can check how many pages are in the file by pressing control-End to go to the end of the file and then press shift-f1. If you want to know how many lines are on the page you can use the same command, Shift-F1, and pressing it twice quickly will give you even more information about the file. If there are many more than 25 lines on the page you can guess that page breaks are not present everywhere they should be in that file.
Is that enough information?

I am having trouble understanding the concept of page breaks. If one is validating in Kurzweil or on the BrailleNote, how would you know if there were page breaks if there weren't page numbers?

You can mark the quality as whatever you feel it is. There have been books
I've done that, because of dialect, the software gave it a lower rating but
I knew it was better than that. If the software gives it a rating and you
believe it's actually lower than that, for whatever reason, I see no reason
why you couldn't do that, too. A book won't be rejected for lack of page
numbers, so long as it does have page breaks. Take care.

Hey, I'm going over a book that I've scanned, and not all of the page numbers came through in the scan. If a book is submitted with semi-sporadic page numbering, will it be rejected? Oh and also, when you're uploading a book, can you suggest that the quality is lower than what the computer suggests? Thanks Eliza
