Hi, Jackie. I use Kurzweil and always scan two pages at a time, and only one book that I scanned was rejected because of page numbers. This was because I was saving the book in RTF (rich text format) as I scanned instead of saving it in the KES (Kurzweil) format while I scanned and then saving it in RTF just before submission. Otherwise, scanning two pages at a time shouldn't cause rejection issues with page numbers. Maybe the scanning problem was something as simple as what I described. In my case, I rescanned the book in the Kurzweil format and then saved it as an RTF at the very end. Then the book was accepted.

Hello, all: I don't really know where this should go so if this isn't the right place, some1 tell me where 2 take it & I will. I just had a book rejected because page breaks don't correspond w/printed page numbers. The manual says there should be a 90% correspondence. I have a few concerns about this, which I wish 2 express, & then I'll shut up. 1) The volunteer was correct, according 2 the manual, 2 reject the book, so I need 4 her 2 understand my problem is not w/her. She did what she was instructed 2 do. 2) My problem is w/the policy. Specifically, when a paperback is small enough 2 scan 2 pages at once, I think it's ridiculous 2 expect a close page number correspondence. It will discourage people from scanning because scanning will take twice as long since each page will need 2 b scanned individually. That's not fair, not to the person submitting the book & not 2 the readers. I really hope that this policy will be reexamined & some changes made. The volunteer acknowledges that it was an excellent scan, that all copyright & publication information was present, & that the only reason 4 rejection was the issue of page numbers. Yall, that's not right. Again, if this isn't the proper venue, plese accept my apologies & tell me where to go, as it were. If it is, then I hope some productive discussion can be generated & some resolutions obtained. Thanking every1 in advance for their attention. -- Jackie McBride Check out my homepage at: www.abletec.serverheaven.net To unsubscribe from this list send a blank Email to bksvol-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxput the word 'unsubscribe' by itself in the subject line.
