Hi, Melissa,
I edit with Window Eyes and Word.
If you have normal view selected in Word, an actual page break is indicated
by the speech saying page break. With a soft page break, the page number of
the Word file, not the actual pagination of the book is spoken without any
indication of a page break.
A soft page break occurs because the perameters of the Word page have been
exceeded in some way--often because the number of lines on the page of an
actual book and sometimes because of font size or because of the formatting
of space between paragraphs.
One way to eliminate soft page breaks is to increase the length of your
pages in Word or to change page margins. Generally I increase the page
length from letter size to legal.
I don't know the correct technical terms for some of what I have explained
so hope that my comments are clear.
Lori C.

How do you determine what is a hard or soft page break? I'm using
Microsoft Word XP and WindowEyes 7.1 to do my proof reading.
Thanks,
Melissa

Hi Melissa and welcome! I would add that you want to make sure that the
extra page breaks are true page breaks and not soft page breaks that
don't count. If you had a real page break and a soft page break next to
each other, and you deleted the true one, thinking the soft page break
was the real one and the real one the extra one, now you wouldn't have
enough page breaks.
