Great! I was going to suggest Microsoft Works--cheaper than Word, works with rtf, including displaying page breaks (visually, I am not sure if screen readers announce them).

Page breaks are also announced, at least by NVDA.So I'm very happy. I found a solution that won't cost me anything. Just thought others might be interested. I should also mention that Jarte does all the essentials, like text formatting, attribute changing, insertion of tables, customized tab stops, etc. One feature that really stood out is Hot Connect, where you can have your browser open to fill out forms, edit text in Jarte, save changes, and have the text automatically copied to the other program's window.In other news, my new scanner has just arrived. So I'm all set. Off to start proofing.Andromache On 3/22/2010 8:46 PM, Mayrie ReNae wrote:Hi there, Unfortunately, you do need software that will recognize, preserve, andannounce page breaks. From what I know, and I don't use NVDA but JAWS, the two pieces of software best able to do what you need to do when proofreadingare either Word, or Kurzweil 1000. Sorry to tell you what may be inconvenient news. But happy proofreading!

I used to be on this list a long time ago but had a different e-mail address. I remembersome of the names here.But my question is about screen readers and pagination, and what softwareworks best to edit books. I tried opening the book in both WordPad andOpenOffice, but I don't get any feedback on page breaks. If it helps, I'm using the NVDA screen reader. Do I need to purchase MS Word for the sake ofpagination? Thanks in advance for your help.
