Hi, Gwen, you are not the only person whose brain glazes over when the
dreaded word "manual" is written or spoken. I have a BrailleNote and have
attempted to read its manual, and it is outrageously easy for me to fall
asleep reading the thing. Exciting literature, it ain't. Soporific, it
definitely is, and it tends to be bewildering to me. Others can manage the
thing but I get snippets from it while the rest flies out of my brain.
Please don't beat yourself over the head about your scanning or
proofreading. As a fellow greenhorn or tenderfoot, I need mentoring like
you. Now you have one over on me because I am extremely unsure about
scanning and I have proofread one book which was so perfectly scanned I
didn't have to do hardly anything. If you can relax, do so. When things get
too much for you, do something else until you think you can tackle it again,
None of us are born knowing how to do things. Learning slips up on you and
before you know it or are aware of it, you will be surprised about what you
know and understand. Regards, Kim.

Do what's easier for you. Personally, I find them easier to seee in the
upper left-hand corner. I'm now proofing a book that has them in the lower
left-hand corner. I didn't even see them in the print book I'm using to
proof; I thought at first it was unpaged, until I came to the book file
and saw them and then looked carefully at the pages in the print book. I
think I'm going to move them to the upper left-hand corner so I can find
them easily when I do a final pagination check (when I have finished
proofing a book, which do by reading it, I do a final spell-check and a
final pagination check. I've found that sometimes I've put in the same
number twice or forgotten to put one in because I'd become involved in
what Iwas reading, and the text continued normally.

But if I start with nearly none present or readable (italic misrecognitions
on antique fonts), where should I put them. I need them myself, just to
proof chapter books accurately, so if I am inserting, they can already be
standardized.
Thanks for all your help!

I used to do that but I think we've recently been informed that we don't
have to worry about that any more; the bookshare conversion process will
take of that.

Okay, I'm sure you all are sick of my newbie questions, but I've got
another. Smiles. Most books that I am scanning or proofing do not have the
page number on the first page of the chapter until the bottom of the page,
and in the middle at that. Also, most left facing book pages are numbered
on the left and most right facing pages are on the right. Is it better to
standardize everything and just put them all in the upper left corner of
each page, regardless of how it starts out, especially for the cases where
you are re-creating pagination? I tend to be a traditionalist and keep
things exactly as I see them, but I am guessing that both for searches and
orientation that the upper left hand corner of every page might be easiest.
Your help is greatly appreciated!
