On the list I asked for the submitter of Flatterland to contact me; that is the
name of the book. The Kurzweil page numbers appear right in the middle of the
print page followed by two blank lines which is why I am deleting those blank
lines. Thanks for your interest in this issue. I may submit this to feedback as
it so important that the submitter is sure of the one or two page setting being
used.

Jill,
I don't recall your mentioning the book you were working on so I don't know
how the scanner would know it was his/her scan you were working on. Where are
the page numbers? if they are at the bottom of the merged page, then the extra
blank lines should not matter. If they are at the top of the page they might be
a nuisance but again they should not be a problem but only an extra width
between it and the text. I assume you have read Bookshare books so you probably
know how small the print is or at least how little the extra lines will matter
when the Bookshare computers transfers your book to their format. You would
have to ask someone at Bookshare but I cannot imagine where the extra blank
lines would be such a problem as to be worth the worry. If what text is good
and you have the right number of pages in the right order and correct numbers
and no major gaps in the middle of the page, then If it were me I would not
worry about and extra blank line or two at the top or bottom of the page
wherever the page number is.
I did notice one thing in the various comments in reply to your question that
could create other, equally confusing problems. Some people suggested that you
use the 2-page setting for all books you scan with Kurzweil. While most of the
books I scan do fit my scanner with two pages, I have scanned books with pages
too large for 2 to scan at once and I have never found it to scan well with the
double setting, especially since I had to change the position of the page on
the glass each time so one page would be reverse of the next.I won't get to
the large one for three more books so you may find out before I do and if so
let me know how it turns out. Good luck with the rest of the book. The
validater of the book I have in process will have a much harder time with
Bester's writing than almost anything shy of a complicated science text but at
least he/she will not be bored.
