Hi Terry,
If I'm reading this correctly, are the actual page numbers for chapter 1
as follows: 1-1, 1-2, 1-3 and so forth? If so, I don't think Bookshare's
file conversion tools will correctly find those as page numbers. I
suspect this is something you'll have to ask Amanda to help with on how
to do it.
However, if they are just 1, 2, 3, 4 and then the next chapter starts
over with 1, 2, 3, 4, the software conversion tool will correctly find
them and leave them as they are. You will, however, have to total up the
pages yourself to correctly fill in the field when you submit a
proofread book that asks how many pages are in the book.
On the > symbol, it should be just fine as is. You can leave it alone as
it it's supposed to be there like that.

Hi Everyone,
I’m scanning a book for a college student.
Question 1. Each chapter’s page numbers start with 1 as in 1-1, 1-2 for chapter 1 and 2-1, 2-2, for chapter 2, etc.
When entering the page count during the submission process does one just total the pages from all the chapters including the blank ones at the end of each chapter and enter that total as the page count?
Question 2. The symbol for greater-than (ASCII character 62) > is used in some tables. It’s not a garbage character but actually the symbol used in the print text. What should I do with this symbol? Spell out the word greater-than when it comes up? Replace it with some other valid symbol and put a note about it?
Thanks in advance.
P.S. We just got back from Cancun. My partner and I and another blind couple were sitting at a table in a very chic restaurant and Monica and her husband saw us and came over and introduced themselves to us. What a nice surprise. Of course we discussed Bookshare! This is the Monica who just wrote a note of condolence to Valerie. Incidentally, as a blind user I appreciate the book Moon Cancun and the Mexican Riviera which I downloaded from Bookshare. In it I discovered one excellent restaurant and a German bakery in Playa del Carmen! Before my Bookshare days (before 2010) I would travel as a passive participant with my sighted partner picking out where we should go. With Bookshare I am an active member of the team! Thank you Boookshare!
