Hi Saml, Liz Halperin here. I submitted The Nun's Story. The page
numbers were there. As often happens,t he page numbers are on the same
line as the headers--meaning one side of the pbook has the author's name
and page number and the facing page has the book title (or chapter
title) and page number. The Bookshare propgram that strips the headers
and footers removes those page numbers if they are part of the header.
As a braille reader, I'll tell you I'd rather lose the page numbers than
have to face the titles and author's names on each page! Anyway, that's
what happens sometimes. I far prefer the books that have the page
numbers on the bottom, then what I do is delete the blank line between
the text and the page number, then it doesn't get stripped.

Hi All,
I have a question about three recent submissions. They are all rated
excellent almost no errors. They are The Immense Journey, The Nun's
Story,
and No Man is an Island.
When I open them in Victor Reader, or Book Wizard Reader they all lack
page
numbers..... (Nun"s Story has a few).
Is this a problem with the conversion process or with the submitted
file? No
Man is an Island was my first scan and first submissin. Before I scan or
submit another book I'd like to know if I'm doing it right.
I'm using Omni Page 14. The html files on all three books seem ok to
me.
Thanks Sam Sammons a partially sighted Senior Citizen and an admirer
of
Bookshare and it's volinteers.
