If you do any of your proofing in Microsoft Word, and they're not hard page
breaks, in which case you won't see an actual break, but the page number
will change, increase the paper size to legal, rather than letter, which is
the default. To do this, go to the file menu and press u for the margins
page. Hold down the control key as you press the tab once to get to the
paper size dialog page in the margins menu. Paper size is probably the
first option. Arrow down to the paper size you want. In this case, letter
is the first choice, legal is the second. Enter on Legal. Then tab to Ok
and enter. That will take care of the problem unless the part at the bottom
is too much to fit on the extra space allowed. (It does say paper size, but
the computer page expands enough that if you were actually printing the
page, it would need a legal-sized page.)
Good luck. (I hope it's just normal dialog and such. Sometimes, especially
in indices, the publisher reverts to a smaller font, and even the changed
paper size won't cover the discrepancy.)

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] question for proofreaders
I am proofreading a book where far too often the last few lines of a page
show up as a separate page. I don't think this could have been happening as
the book was scanned because when I merge the pages, the Kurzweil page and
the print page are consistent. Does anyone have a clue on how this could
happen. It doesn't happen with every page and not even consistently with odd
or even pages but the end result of pages is going to be about 200 too many
so I have my work cut out for me. A simple merge does the trick and the scan
is otherwise a very good one. I welcome your thoughts.
