I don't know anything about later versions of Word Perfect, but there is a
chance that you could get JAWS to announce the page break character. If
you sometime come accross the hard page break character you want JAWS to
announce you might try pressing insert-D to open the JAWS pronunciation
dictionary. Select add and make sure there is something in the actual word
editbox. Don't worry about what kind of weird thing is there, because the
weirder the better. :-) Type in what you want JAWS to say when it crosses
a page break in the replacement word editBox then hit enter and alt-f4 to
exit the dictionary. Say yes to save when JAWS prompts. See if JAWS now
reads the page break when it crosses it. If it doesn't you might as well
go back in the dictionary and remove the entry so it doesn't waste space.
Unfortunately if that doesn't work I don't have any other ideas.

Hi, and thanks for your help. I guess what I was looking for was a way to
be able to detect a page break while reading with the insert two for say
all so I didn't have to arrow line by line, but I guess I will just have to
arrow to find the page breaks and just a bit slower in my reading. That's
fine though, and thanks for your help.

Natalie,
From what I remember of using Word Perfect back in the DOS days, Spg does
mean soft page break or one that occurs in Word Perfect because of the page
length. HPg means hard page break and occurs because Word Perfect
encounters a Page Break character.
If I understood you correctly, you said you were reading a book from the
collection in Word Perfect. That would be why you don't see any hard page
breaks in the book. I don't believe HTML and XML allow hard page breaks,
therefore, the hard page breaks would be removed as part of the processing
to turn the book into a DAISY book. I don't think the locations of the
hard page breaks are lost, however, in the DAISY books. It's been two or
three years since I read a description of the DAISY standard, but from what
I remember, my impression was that the information is recorded in one of
the additional files that are included with the XML file in the DAISY books
along with other navigation information like the location of specific pages
and chapters.
Try using Reveal Codes on a book downloaded from the Step 1 page, either
a new book or one you worked on in the past. You can also try adding a
hard page break to a file then looking at it with Reveal Codes turned on.
It seems like you insert one using Ctrl-Enter like Word, K-1000, and
OpenBook, but I could be getting it confused with those software packages,
so you might try Shift-Enter or just looking up the proper key combination
in the Help information.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] A question about page breaks
Hi everyone. I know this is probably going to be a stupid question, but
can anyone tell me how to find page breaks when using Word Perfect? I'm
using wq11 and Jaws 6.0 and have been unsuccessful in finding them. I
tried reading with reveal codes and could only find spg which I'm assuming
means a soft page break. I guess I'm confused because I'm currently
reading a book I downloaded from the colection because I was trying to test
the reveal codes thing before I got a another book to validate, and I only
found soft page breaks in the book. Or at least, I'm assuming that's what
spg means. Anyway, I was just curious so thought I would ask.
