Let's try this again. I searched for the number 2 as part of a search not
involving whole-word. Between pages twenty and thirty, after setting the
pages so that page 1 is indeed page 1, I found that there was one 2 in the
entire ten pages. You are right that the chapters do coincide with the
contents, but most of the pages are not numbered. Now I can check using the
contents, but if I want to talk to anybody about material in a given story,
I can only hope that the numbering is right. Am I missing something?
