Where do you get Jarte, do you know? Thanks.

Congratulations, I think it also works with JAWS too. Haven't tried it
myself but have had friends who recommend it.

the purity of the sound, the beauty of the arrangements, and the quality

the performances."-Trumpeter Chris Botti

I just wanted to report that Jarte is accessible to screen readers,
allows for page break insertion, and is free. :) It's basically a
diluxe version of WordPad, without all the bloat of MS Word. 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.

Hi there,
Unfortunately, you do need software that will recognize, preserve,
and announce 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 proofreading are either Word, or Kurzweil 1000.
Sorry to tell you what may be inconvenient news.
But happy proofreading!

I've just been approved for volunteering for a second time. I used to
be on this list a long time ago but had a different e-mail address. I
remember some of the names here.
But my question is about screen readers and pagination, and what
software works best to edit books. I tried opening the book in both
WordPad and OpenOffice, 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 of pagination? Thanks in advance for your help.
