Hi Kathy,

         Oh, yes, using MSWord, it is simple to make pages longer so
that soft page breaks won't be inserted and mess up page count even
more than having to take into consideration preliminary pages already
does!  And I love using it.  Here is what you do.  This assumes you
are using MSWord.  In the file menu, down arrow to "page setup." Hit
enter.  Press control-tab.  This puts you in the paper size
dialogue.  Here you can choose your paper size by down arrowing and
can change it to either legal, which generally is big enough for me,
or to custom, whose size you can specify by tabbing through your
choices and changing the length and width (in inches) of the
page.  Once you do that, hit the "ok" button, and you are set.  No
more soft page breaks to confuse you when trying to determine if all
pages of a book are present, and proper page breaks as
well!  Yaye!  I was thrilled to learn this one!  I hope it helps you too!

Peace,
Mayrie
