NNELS will retain print pagination if requested by the user (usually if the book is to be used in an educational environment). Otherwise, print pagination is not retained.
In many books, page numbering does not matter. Most books sold in EPUB format (especially fiction) do not have specific pagination and so will show as a different number of pages depending on the amount of text that fits on a device’s screen.

In order for parts of the document to have different formatting in the front and body sections, it must be divided into sections. You need to insert section breaks where the page numbering changes, i.e. at the end of the front matter, which uses lower case roman numerals. For numbers, use the same numbering system used in the print material: numeric, roman numerals, or letter-number combination.
Unless requested by the user, NNELS will not retain print pagination.
In these cases, we do the following:
LibreOffice and OpenOffice can handle basic page numbering, but unfortunately do not handle changes in page numbering like Word does because it does not have the section break option. If matching page numbers is important, you must use Microsoft Word.
