Hi, Lori, do you mean I should open my file using WordPad? I know this book
has some kind of style thing, in fact it gives some kind of number or other
and I haven't the faintest idea about what to do about it. All I know is I
got rid of scanos, stripped all headers with the exception of the necessary
ones, and the pagination is logical given there are six prefatory pages and
474 pages of text. I really don't know what to do. It reads well and I'd
hate to reject it because of all that work I put in. I have to save this
file as an rtf one for Bookshare. I proofread this book in normal view, but
maybe I should have put the file in Print view. I could go round and round
on this thing but prefer not to. Regards, Kim.

Kim, my comment is not going to help solve your problem, but I downloaded a
book to proofread which had the same pagination problem you described.
It was the book which had all the style issues, and when I solved those I
found that many pages contained just one line even though my page length was
set at legal. I think this is what you are describing.
I could not solve the problem and in fact rejected the book.
Have you tried opening the file in Wordpad, then saving it and closing it?
Maybe that will help. I do sympathize with your dilemma.
If someone can solve your problem, I hope the solution is posted to the
list.
Lori C.
