Hi, Amy. Your method is good for editing and scanning purposes, but those
user-defined page numbers are lost when the file is converted to anything
other than Kurzweil. It has no effect on the pagination of the book itself.
Take care.

Someone not familiar with the K 1000 may not understand that Kurzweil has a
dual numbering system but the scanner needs to take advantage of the "user
sets page number" option which means that we set them page number at the
first Arabic numeral page number so that if the book has an introduction or
other material in roman numeral page numbers they are not included in the
pagination but Kurzweil also number the pages in terms of beginng of book
to total. Thus the story may begin at page 3 which is where I begin my User
sets page number with number 3 but in the strip under the book there is
Page 3 but also below that may be something like Page 13 of 385. This is
what I call the Kurzweil count. Without using the user sets page number, the
only number the computer shows it what I am calling the Kurzweil number and
it will rarely match the pagination on the pages themselves. In all the
books I have done, even after converting them to RTF, I have never had a
problem with that pagination as long as the contents of the book has page
numbers that are matching the ones on the page. To do this one has to begin
the page number with that Arabic numeral. Kurzweil will label all previous
pages as "preliminary page #x". The only other thing one must be careful of
is to include all blank pages after the Title page so as to keep the
pagination matching.
