Hi Roger,
Thanks for the confirmation about page breaks! Unfortunately, as I use
Microsoft Word and Kurzweil 1000, and am barely familiar with Wordpad, I
can't help you with how to reinsert a page break using that program. Good
luck! Perhaps someone else knows.

Yes, it does say the words "page break." It does so whether I am letting it
read continuously or arrowing past it. It also reads it as a single
character, that is, when arrowing left or right one letter at a time it
reads the words page break as one single letter.
Now, funny this should happen just when we were talking about page breaks. I
goofed. I was cleaning up one of those page headers in the current book I am
validating and something happened that just barely registered on my
consciousness at the time. After saving my changes I started to feel uneasy
about that particular fix so I opened the document to look at it again. My
suspicions were confirmed. I had accidentally deleted the page break between
page 28 and page 29. Is there any way I can fix this without releasing it
and downloading it all over again which I suppose would mean having to start
all over with everything? In a message dated 7/20/2008 5:24:28 P.M. Pacific

Hi Roger,
You are not the first person to say that Wordpad retains and JAWS
announces
page breaks while reading rtf documents in the past year or so. It
is
possible that advances in software have occurred since we were all
warned
against using Wordpad to validate. I do have a question, to
clarify, not to
contradict you. Does JAWS actually say "page break" when you pass
over a
page break? If so, perhaps Jake (Are you out there Jake?) could
comment on
this for us. Jake is kind of our computer geeky guru, or at least I
hold
him in high esteem in these matters. You may be able, Roger, to
increase
the options for validators if you can tell us exactly what you hear
JAWS say
when you are reading continuously, and when you down or up arrow
past a page
break when using Wordpad to validate an rtf document. It would be
neat if
things have changed that would allow more validation options for
validators!
I look forward to knowing more!
Mayrie

Well, I don't know why mine is working different than you would have
expected unless my incompetence is causing me to do something that
changes
the way word pad works, but I am hearing every page break that comes
along
announced while using word pad. In a message dated 7/20/2008 3:30:09

Roger, remember you will be able to find page breaks with speech
using Word but not using Wordpad.
So you probably want to validate with something other than
wordpad
so
your speech synthesizer reads you page breaks.
