Hi Ann, when you are proofing, you have to do it with some program or other, such as Microsoft Word, or some other word processor. Even if you use K1000 or OpenBook, they both have word processors built into them. An editing program is just another name for whatever word processing software you are using to proofread the book.

I use JAWS as my screen reader, and I don't use an editing program. What you said is what it does while I'm proofing. This time, I will eave it alone. Iscrewed it up with the last book I proof read, as far as pages are concerned. I wilol eave it alone this time. I just thought to ask because sometimes when I download a book from the site, I will get a book with two different page numbers. Thanks for the information. -----Original Message----- From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Mike Sent: Friday, November 26, 2010 1:13 AM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: question about proffing What software are you using to do the proofing? If you are using an editing program such as MS Word and a screen reader, in some cases there will be a page number in the text of the page and another page number that the software keeps track of. For example, if your book has 4 pages without numbers at the beginning of the book, then starts with page 1 in the text, by the time you get to the page with 212 in the text, your software might call it page 216. Each time you come to a new page your screen reader might say the number the software gives the page, then the page number in the text. In general, you can't change the page number assigned by the software, and you want to leave the page number in the text. In other words, you probably shouldn't change anything. But, you are supposed to make sure the book has all its pages, and if possible that all the numbers in the text are in the correct order.

While I was proofing Wren To The Rescue, (which was very cute by the way) as I'm going through the pages, there are two sets of page numbers. For example, it will say 212, and then it will say page so, and so. Do I leave that alone or do I delete the first set of pages? For example, it will say 212 and then it will say page 216. I hope I don't sound confusing. Lol I can't think to explain it any other way. Thanks, Ann P.S whoever is looking over Wren To The Rescue, I didn't realize that Wren's name was spelled with a W. I think I only took out the W once, and I also accidently removed it in the title page just before I submitted it.
