Oh, thanks, Mary! That sounds like it'll save all kinds of frustration! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mayrie ReNae" <mrenae@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, March 19, 2008 11:56 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: paragraphs--indented or line skipped between? 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 At 09:13 PM 3/19/2008, you wrote: >Wow! That's interesting! How can you create longer pages?
