Kenneth, You are again correct, there are no printed page
numbers, but the numbers assigned by Kurzweil are correct, if they were
not the titles would not appear on the correct page. again the printed page
numbers should appear on the page, but since they do not, If I wanted to
indicate a particular page I would quote a phrase from that page and it
can be found with the find feature.
I appreciate and sympathize with your problem.

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.
