Hi Tracy,

In addition to Mary's advice to change your paper size, there is another
issue that I've had with certain books. It's the issue of having a lot of
extra white space on some pages. I think sighted folks can see it, but Jaws
doesn't. 
The way to get rid of it depends on your version of Word, but it's easy
enough to do. The setting you want has to do with "spacing before" and
"spacing after" in your paragraph settings.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Fake page breaks

The book I proofread was just thrown back for further editing because of
"paging problems".  I'm at a loss as to what to do.
Page 126-127 is one of the problems mentioned.  If I cursor down the page,
Jaws says there is a new page partway down page 126, but when I search for
^m, page break, it doesn't occur until page 127, as it should.  I deleted
the hard return where Jaws says "new page", then put it back, but that
didn't fix the problem.
The margins under Page Setup are set to 0" for top, bottom, left and
right.  Still the fake page break.
There are 14 lines on page 126 before Jaws says "new page".  There is a
footnote number at the end of the line, but there are a lot of footnotes
in this book, so I don't think that's the problem.
The lines look to be normal length, with normal spacing.

This is not a real page break, and I can't make it go away.  I don't know
what to do. I've tried all the tricks I know.
