It also presupposes that the transcriber is aware that the following page is blank. If a transcriber is given an allocation of 10 pages ending in page x then then person has no way of knowing, without going out of their way and checking, that page x+1 is blank. However, that doesn't invalidate a way of handling the situations where the transcriber does know, or can be told, these details. Ian
