Megan, it doesn't matter how many soft page breaks there are, bookshare never 
sees them, your notetaker never sees them, the only thing that might be 
affected would be if you were using jaws in word, and I'm not sure about that.

  It does. I guess I can proofread everything else on my BrailleNote and then 
in Word can increas the paper size to fix any page numbers. Would I need to 
change the paper size back to letter after adding the page numbers before 
uploading it to Bookshare, or can I just upload it using a different paper size?

    Hi Megan,

        If you are using JAWS, it announces it as it passes over a page break.  
It actually says "page break."  If it is a soft page break that you are passing 
over, Word will just announce the new page number as Word is counting which it 
does by counting soft page breaks.  You're really better off increasing your 
paper size and eliminating all soft page breaks that way.  Then you never have 
to wonder at all about soft page breaks because they're gone.

    Does that help?

    I've got a question about hard versus soft page breaks and adding page 
numbers. So, it there's a soft page break, a break in Word for example where 
there'd be a new page if you printed it but not a new page in the book, I don't 
understand how you could easily determine where to add page numbers. I don't 
think I made sense. If a book has more soft page numbers than hard ones and you 
need to add page numbers, how do you know where to add the numbers? How do you 
know which is a hard page break and which is a soft one?
