Dave:

We don't support pages in Word files. Any pages indicated by the Book
Port in Word files are synthetic pages, created for convenience only.

Hello list:

Just a bit puzzled over finding my way around in a document. Usually, I
just 
read things and never concern myself about things such as page numbers.
It 
has become necessary to give the matter special attention with one
document. 
The document was originally created in Word. All agree that it has 21
pages. 
I have transferred it to the book port using the book port transfer
utility, 
point to the file and go to the end of it. Upon going to the page
number 
item in the settings key pad, I find I am on page 6. Using the go to
page 
feature, I am unable to reach 21. This would seem to prove that the
document 
doesn't have that many pages.

This is the first time I've put a Word document on the book port.
Normally, 
I read mostly text files or MP3 files. Just wondering if there is
something 
special about transferring Word files that isn't immediately apparent.

Thanks for any thoughts.

Dave
