Bob, give me a few examples of some page numbers that are missing, and I will
se if they are in my brf version. As I posted, it looks as though there are
quite a lot of page numbers in the version I downloaded. The first three
chapters start where the Table of Contents says they should begin. I checked a
few random page numbers in addition to those at the beginning of the first
three chapters and found them.

I checked out the .txt file and didn't find page numbers except in a
haphazard manner.
I'm going to get back to validating as I'm getting very frustrated. Bookshare
pays me to validate a book not to troubleshoot their software.

Okay, this is pretty strange.
As I said in a previous message I was using k1000v10. Others with other
software or other versions of Kurzweil may find different results.
I downloaded the daisy copy of "the rise and fall of the third Reich" and
opened it in Kurzweil.
There are random page numbers that do show in the book, page VII for
example. However, most are missing. But, Kurzweil is true to the book if you
make allowances for the extra page that bookshare adds in on page two. For
example, page 1524 in the book was reported on page 1525. So, to find out what
page you are on press shift f1 in the book and mentally add the number 1 to
whatever k1000 reports you are on.
I checked out header avoidance in the reading settings, making sure that
header avoidance was enabled. According to the manual, this should report page
headings, but it doesn't.
I swear the page numbers were there when the book was submitted to the
bookshare administration. I can only conclude that the stripper took them out,
or Kurzweil isn't reporting them.
I am going to save the book in .txt format, open it with a good old text
editor and see if page numbers and, I hope, page breaks are there. But, don't
hold your breath. I'll report it if there is any difference.

Will the daisy tags indicate the actual page number or will those tags
reflect the number of pages, including introductory pages? Any way, I will try
that right now.

If you get the Daisy version, you can see the page numbers in the Daisy
tags using the Bookmark list commands. Otherwise, you can use a notetaker or
bookport or book courrier if you have one, or, if you need to, you can use
Internet Explorer to read the html version included with the Daisy version. Use
the Jaws placemarker commands to make bookmarks or save your place, or convert
the file back to txt with Explorer and put it back in Kurzweil.
