I don't either, but if you arrow over the page break character, it should tell you. This is only problematic if the page break appears on the same line as the last line of text, because then, you aren't going to know to look for the character. Still, Jarte doesn't handle em dashes, so Word is better for proofing if you can afford it. I'm unwilling to shell out over $100 that could be better spent on actual books. Anyone know how WordPerfect works with a screen reader?
AndromacheP.S. Microsoft Works 9 does not work well at all with a screen reader, and the Works version of Word is completely unusable.

Hi Andromache!I had to uninstall Jarte, because I didn't get the announcement of where page breaks are like I do in Word with Window-Eyes.Debby At 03:10 PM 5/6/2010, Andromache wroteI use Jarte for proofreading, and I do preliminary proofreading steps using the thorough instructions from the manual. They are very helpful, actually. But I don't feel right about guesswork.Andromache On 5/6/2010 2:46 AM, Melissa Smith wrote:To separate the quotes, you can do a find and replace. There is also a process to eliminate most incorrect paragraph marks. What software are you using to proof? This will make a little difference on how you do this. Both of these processes are described in the volunteer manual.Melissa Smith On 5/6/2010 3:48 AM, Andromache wrote:I've checked out a book which is quite a good scan aside from dubious paragraph breaks. I know for prose, it's most efficient to only have new lines when there are blank spaces or at the beginnings of paragraphs, but this book seems to not have retained these properly. The way I know this is that quotations by different characters appear with no line break between, and some places where contextually, you'd think there should be a new paragraph, there isn't.The difficulty arises because I'm a totally blind proofreader, and as far as I can tell, there isn't a Braille hard copy. This is where being able to comment on why a book is being released would be very helpful. *frustrated sigh* I was really hoping I could do it because the scan looked good, but I'm guessing I'll have to release it. Such a shame.
