Hi, here is the message that is the preferred method for determining page
count for a file (read hard page breaks). Regards, Kim Friedman.

Hi Kim,
Shame on me for not running the instructions I sent you earlier, past Carrie
first. Things that go into Carrie's brain always come out better!
Please delete that email. I hope you haven't posted it to the discussion
list. If you share, use the instructions below instead, which are better and
shorter.
Also, since there's no break at the very end of the file, to get the page
count we add one to the number of replaces made. (Another thing Carrie
reminded me of a while back, but which I forgot today.)

We'll do a "dummy" global replace to get Word to tell us how many replaces
it made. This number will be the number of hard page breaks in the file. Add
one to this number and you'll have the page count of the file.
* The method assumes the book was scanned correctly, ie the scan
contains the correct number of hard page breaks to begin with.
* To determine the page count of a file, Bookshare counts only hard page
breaks. Soft page breaks are not included in the count.
1. Start at the very beginning of the file by doing the keystroke
combination: Control + Home
2. Bring up the "Find and Replace" dialog box by doing the keystroke
combination: Control + h
3. In the "Find what" box, type "^m" (without the quotes).
This is a caret, followed by a lower case letter 'm'.
4. In the "Replace with" box, type the same thing as above: "^m".
5. In the next step, Word will tell you how many replaces it made.
Be ready to remember or record this number.
6. Do a Replace All with the keystroke combination: Alt + a. (Or, click
"Replace All".)
7. Note the number of replaces Word made. Click "OK".
8. Exit the Find and Replace dialog box by either pressing the Escape
key, or by clicking "Cancel".
9. Add one to the number of replaces made and you have the page count of
the file.
