Hi Monica, After listening to your message a second time, another thought
occured to me. Go into page setup on the file menu shift-tab once arrow to
the right to set paper size and set paper size to special 1, manually set
that to 8.5 by 22.0. See if this doesn't change the number of pages that
Word reports. If this works your in luck. HTH Tom

Hi, Tom. This book has approximately 150 pages. The text itself is well-scanned and almost flawless. It has scads of pictures, text boxes, section breaks, smart tags, and something called unformed tables. When I removed the section breaks, the book became 450 pages. I used to think that I knew how to do farily advanced word processing. This book is beyond my ability to cope though without some guidance. Any advice on how to remove the pictures? There are quite a few of them. Additionally, how do I specify the proper quote character in the search and replace boxes? I saw on Jake's site that I should convert the character 147 and 148 to a general character 34. However, the site doesn't tell me how to actually type these special characters. Thanks for any help you can give.

If I were you maybe someone can tell you if there are indeed pictures in the file, if so I would delete them and put a note to that effect in the notes. Tom
