It seems JAWS sees page breaks  only in the front matter, but not in the 
body of the book.  it is possible that page breaks in the body of the book 
may be soft breaks induced by K1K and MS Word at different places.

Hi Guido,
Are some of the page breaks hard ones and some soft perhaps? What does it
look like when you use Control+Shift+8 and use JAWS to look at the
character codes for the page breaks?

All,  I have just downloaded:


                  1812: The Rivers of War by Eric Flint,


from the Baen Free library site in unzipped RTF format.  The book contains
 a valid copyright notice, an ISBN,  specifies that this is a mass market
 edition--meaning it is the etext of a paperback, and it appears to sport
 page breaks of some kind.    MS Word reports a total of 411 pages,  while
 Kurzweil 1000 reports just under 250 pages.  I suspect that the document
 may not use standard page breaks for pagination.  If this were the case,
              some editors may not detect page breaks at all.

Ok, with all this talk I am just curious about how we would go about
submitting them.  The Baen books I have read none of them had page breaks
or
page numbers and no Copyright info included.

Is this something that Jim and the Bookshare staff are going to work on?
