But this is not elaborated on. Does anyone know what this simple change is or whether there is an alternative to EPUBogrify for those of us not wanting to use MacOS? |
Hmmm... were
my answers in that thread (Posts #4+) not satisfactory?
Doitsu's plugins really help, but you'd still need to go through and actually mark where page breaks actually occur.

If you're working in Microsoft Word, DAISY has since released a tool called "WordToEPUB":
https://daisy.org/activities/software/wordtoepub/
and they've also released a few videos about it:
Youtube: "WordToEPUB Extended Tutorial – Accessible EPUB in Seconds"
(They even mentioned how great Sigil is!
)
~38 mins is where they discuss generating page numbers.
Same with that though, you have to manually mark your DOCX where pages occur, then the tools will help convert those numbers into the needed <a> or <span> markup.

Allows readers to navigate in alternate ways (similar to TOC).
Instead of jumping to the next screen/heading, you can navigate by jumping to the next page (think Text-to-Speech).
You can also sync together with print-book readers (think a book club, classroom, or citation where they say "On page 45, this this and this occurs [...]")
For more details, check out all the previous threads discussing this topic:

or do a search in your favorite search engine:

Whenever I discuss page numbers, I usually bring up Doitsu's plugins.
That should lead you to all the MR threads on the topic.
