"To me, music that breaks your heart is the music that stays with you forever. It's one thing to be melancholy and one thing to be sophisticated, but when you get the two of them together in a way people can relate to, then I think you're on to something. You want the sophistication to lie in the purity of the sound, the beauty of the arrangements, and the quality of the performances."-Trumpeter Chris Botti--

What software are you using to do the proofing? If you are using an editing program such as MS Word and a screen reader, in some cases there will be a page number in the text of the page and another page number that the software keeps track of. For example, if your book has 4 pages without numbers at the beginning of the book, then starts with page 1 in the text, by the time you get to the page with 212 in the text, your software might call it page 216. Each time you come to a new page your screen reader might say the number the software gives the page, then the page number in the text. In general, you can't change the page number assigned by the software, and you want to leave the page number in the text. In other words, you probably shouldn't change anything. But, you are supposed to make sure the book has all its pages, and if possible that all the numbers in the text are in the correct order.

Hello all,

I have a quick question about proofing a book. While I was proofing Wren To The Rescue, (which was very cute by the way) as I’m going through the pages, there are two sets of page numbers. For example, it will say 212, and then it will say page so, and so. Do I leave that alone or do I delete the first set of pages? For example, it will say 212 and then it will say page 216. I hope I don’t sound confusing. Lol I can’t think to explain it any other way.

Thanks,

Ann

P.S whoever is looking over Wren To The Rescue, I didn’t realize that Wren’s name was spelled with a W. I think I only took out the W once, and I also accidently removed it in the title page just before I submitted it. Sorry about that.
