 Every book is different.
Side Note: I never export any of the headers/footers out of Finereader anyway, since it only introduces more problems than it helps. And keeping all the same page breaks would require exporting as "Exact Copy"... and that is UGLY.
Personally, I would just complete all the cleanup work in EPUB, then reintroduce pagebreaks manually.
If you were working in InDesign, there are a few different methods mentioned in "Getting InDesign to export pagelists to ePub3 (reflowable)".
The gist was adding an invisible anchor at the start of every "master page".
Unsure if there's a similar way to do that in Word/DOCX. |
I just want to say that realistically, while we've done this (put a target anchor for page numbers at the same location that the original index marker was placed and linked thereto), this is a poor-quality solution. This isn't a criticism of the OP. As I said, we've done it.
But realistically, for any decent-sized non-fic book, you're talking 5.5" x 8.5" or 6" x 9" or larger, which means that one printed page=3(ish) eBook "pages" or screens. The links are simply bloody ineffective and more frustrating, in practice, than useful.
I mean, it's one thing to fan to a page and then visually skim. It's another to flip to a page/screen and then have to more-carefully (because you don't know where the original "page" ends, do you?) skim-read to find the relevant section.
Just saying. This is a topic/subject with which I have wrangled more than once and as much as I hate to say it--and I bloody well do--the only realistic answers are, tell them to use search, OR, link to the damn paragraphs and nobody, anywhere, wants to do that, if they are the bookmaker, or pay to have it done, if you're the customer.
That's my $0.02 cents.
