The Bookshare tools don't "get rid" of soft page breaks because they aren't
actually in the rtf file. 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.

I didn't realize that they didn't count, and I've always deleted them,
though usually when I put in a hard break they disappear. Does the conversion
process get rid of them? But what does that do to the page numbering sequence?

How do you determine what is a hard or soft page break? I'm using
Microsoft Word XP and WindowEyes 7.1 to do my proof reading.
Thanks,

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.
