They are simply artifacts that word displays when the page size is too short between hard page breaks. The hard page break is an actual character in the rtf file that the Bookshare software can see and count. The soft page break that Word shows is not. Not having soft page breaks doesn't do anything to the page numbering because only hard page breaks count. So if the page numbers and hard page breaks match up, the page numbering is accurate.

Does the conversion process get rid of them? But what does that do to the page numbering sequence?

I'm using Microsoft Word XP and WindowEyes 7.1 to do my proof reading. Thanks, Melissa Jamie Yates wrote: > Hi Melissa and welcome! I would add that you want to make sure that the extra page breaks are true page breaks and not soft page breaks that don't count. If you had a real page break and a soft page break next to each other, and you deleted the true one, thinking the soft page break was the real one and the real one the extra one, now you wouldn't have enough page breaks. > > -- Jamie in Michigan > Currently Reading: The Curse of the Spellmans by Lisa Lutz > See everything I've read this year at: www.michrxtech.com/books.html <http://www.michrxtech.com/books.html> To unsubscribe from this list send a blank Email to bksvol-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put the word 'unsubscribe' by itself in the subject line.
