As of Papyrus Version 7.0.16c there is no longer a need for the page number
editing. Here are our official instructions for importing from the Web of
Science:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Use the format provided in our IMPORT.FLB format library named "WEB SCI
2000". This format was last updated in November 2000.

Caveat #1: Make sure that you have a recent copy of IMPORT.FLB. You can
download the latest edition from <http://www.rsd.com/Formats7.html>.

Caveat #2: Make sure that you are using Version 7.0.16c of Papyrus. If
necessary, you can download an update patch from
<http://www.rsd.com/Patches7.html>.

Caveat #3: When you run the import, stick to the suggested Fussiness Level
of "Tolerant".
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The WEB SCI 2000 format does import both keywords and abstracts.
