Hi Dixie,

The various verbosity and other configuration settings available by pressing 
JAWS Key+V or through the Configuration Manager do not seem to impact the 
failure to read page breaks, but it appears this issue may not be observed by 
everyone who has completed the update.  :-(

  I just loaded mine in so have yet to check.

  Is there a setting that is best for editing books?

    Hello Fellow Bookshare Volunteers,

    While starting to validate another book this morning, I have noticed that 
the latest JAWS 9.0.2152 no longer appears to read page break characters in 
Word 2003.  My workaround is to press JAWS Key+D and add \012 to the JAWS 
dictionary as a "page break".  I would appreciate hearing from other JAWS 
9.0.2152 users.  Are you experiencing the same issue?  Does applying this 
workaround resolve it for you?

    Thanks.
