Let me just make a comment here. And this is only a comment, not advice,
because I doubt that Bookshare would approve of my advising you to do
this. I am guessing that this book is an Ace Double. I read some of
those back when I was fully sighted. As I recall, each novel had its own
copyright page with separate information unique to each novel and when
it came to an end there was not much or anything between the two novels.
The end just came and the next page was printed upside down. These books
were made before ISBNs or around the time that ISBNs were just being
adopted and most books still did not have an ISBN. So there was no ISBN
for either novel nor for the book as a whole to complicate things. I
mention that because not too long ago I scanned a book that contained
two novels. They were not upside down in relation to each other, but
each had its own copyright page and title page with different
information on each except for the ISBN and the page numeration started
over for the second novel. Both copyright pages had the same ISBN. If it
was not for the identical ISBN I bet I could have gotten away with
submitting them as two different books. In the case of the Ace Doubles I
bet you could get away with submitting them as two different books.
Again, I am not suggesting that you do that. I am just making an
observation and a comment.

Dear Judy,
I’ll treat the double book as you suggest. How nice that it will be so easy.
About the strike throughs, I’ve been fixing them as I came upon them but in the future if they invade my book again I’ll try your suggestion to uncheck or check and uncheck the box in the font box.
Thank you for sharing your computer and Bookshare savvy with me. We night owls are at it again tonight. Lucky for me as I got your answers so quickly. I’m going to proofread that double sf book after I’ve finished the Sister Joan mystery I just checked out.

Hi Lissi,
For the books I've done like this I treated them as if they were two books in a row contained inside one cover.
I made the titles of each book 20 points, the chapters 16 points. I kept the original page numbering for each book so when book one finished book two started the page numbering all over again.
The only thing you have to do is make sure you manually change the number of pages field in the metadata to be the combined number of pages for both books.

Dear Booksharian Friends,
I’ve forgotten how to format a book when it is two novels in one
paperback. The second novel starts on the back cover turned upside
down with the numbers of the text beginning from the back toward
the middle of the books beginning one at the back and going up.
About Word, when I was double checking my pagination before
checking in a book, numbers I had to replace because they were
coming out bolded, I turned up the magnification way high and saw
that in most cases the numbers had one or maybe two horizontal
lines through them. I tried highlighting them and turning
underline off, but that wasn’t the problem. These thin lines go
right through the numbers and JAWS read them as if they were
normal so I didn’t have a clue there was a problem until that page
check where the numbers were giant sized. I’m just wondering what
that is as until Word 2010 I never knew it existed.
Thanks in advance for any of your ideas.
Otherwise I remain motivated and entranced to proofread.
Always with love,
Lissi
