Hi Valerie,
If there is indeed a table of contents, then, yes, I'd make a proofreader's
note describing the change in numbering. However, if every story in a book
of short stories starts on page 1, doesn't the table of contents look
something like this?
Story First ... 1
Story Two ... 1
Story Three ... 1
And if so, what's the point of having a table of contents? That is just
strange, and seems a little nonsensical to me. But maybe that's just me.

Thanks for the quick reply, Mayrie!
If the tool cannot handle unique pagination, would you then make a note on
the TOC that the tools changed page numbers and bracket the new ones?
I suspected what you are saying was true, just want to ensure peopel
learning to navigate with book tools can do it more easily.
Thanks!
Valerie
