As I recall, the format that we should use is: page break, blank line, page number, blank line, text of page, blank line, page break. I also recall that we were told that if the page numbers appear at the bottom of the page the Bookshare tools will automatically move them to the top. Even so, I am currently scanning a book with the page numbers at the bottom, but I did not realize that at first and began putting them at the top. When I then encountered them at the bottom of pages I just removed them. Since I am carefully preproofing each page by reading the whole thing anyway I am just continuing to do that because it is little trouble and I am not quite sure how the Bookshare tools would handle an inconsistently paginated book.

Hi Jamie,

I always put page numbers at the left margin.  And whether they end up at
the top or bottom of the page depends whether the page numbers that happened to scan are at the top or bottom of the pages. I just go with wherever the 
majority are already in the book.
One word of caution. On pages containing chapter headings, the page number needs to go above the chapter heading with a blank line in between. If this 
means that all page numbers are at the bottom of pages except for those on
the pages containing chapter or section headings, don't worry. This is fine 
and doesn't confuse bookshare's tools.

Happy proofreading.

Mayrie

Hi, I'm not surprised at your answers.  I may not do the books if it means
all that, but if I do decide to be froggy, where on the line do the numbers 
go?  Top, middle, end, where?  Thanks again and have a blessed day.

Hi Jamie,

Unfortunately, and sorry I'm not Debby, but Word's page numbering
function doesn't work for rtf files, which we need to upload to
bookshare.  Even if the page numbers appear, they're a function of
Word, but appear outside the field of text so aren't an actual part of
the rtf file's text.  So, page numbering has to be done by hand if it
needs doing.  Sorry to bring news that means more work.

Happy proofreading.

Mayrie

Hi, Debby, thanks for the hints and tips.  Do you put the numbers at
the bottom or the top?  I did see an option for Word to number pages,
and have you done this and does it work?  Have a blessed day.

Hi Jamie!

I have noticed that chapter 1 in a book starts on page 1 and then I
back number with Roman numerals to the title page, but sometimes
that's easier to do than other times while proofing, because there
have been times when the back numbering doesn't seem to come out right.

Be sure to set your paper size to legal in the page set up menu item
that is in the file menu.  There is a tab in the dialog box called
"paper" or "paper size" that you need to find the list of sizes and
arrow down to legal.

What I often like to do to help me keep the page numbering straight
is to have a Notepad file open and type 1, then go back to Word and
proofread that page, then, once I get to the page break to start page
2, I Alt'tab back to Notepad and change the 1 to 2 and fill in the 2
in the book if page two doesn't have a number, etc.  That way, I
don't have to remember what page I just finished proofing.  I can
just copy and paste or type it into the book I'm working on when a
page number is

missing.

Hi, all, there are three new wonderful titles in the checkout book
section for Christian nonfiction, and they are by Lilian Yeomans and
Lester Sumrall.  One of them I think is mistitled.  It should be the
great Physician and is healing from Heaven.  Healing from Heaven and
The reality of angels are the titles.  I downloaded two of them and
was going to proof them.  They seemed like excellent scans as far as
the words go, but many words had dashes and spaces inappropriately
and unnecessarily placed in words.  I'd do the work myself but I
don't see any page numbers whatsoever and I'm unsure and intimidated by

this.

Had I been able to, I would have fixed the words and dashes and had
somebody help with the page numbering, but it doesn't seem to work
that way around here, smile.  I wouldn't want to do work in vain.  I
don't want to discourage the submitter as she's a new submitter and I
want this person to keep on submitting.  I saved instruction on
getting rid of soft page breaks but I don't know the purpose of this
and what to do after this.  Do you let Word 2003 number the pages or
what?  I used to know how to do this but forgot.  Thanks and have a

blessed day.
