Dear Roger,
When Jaws was speaking Page break, I was listening to the book by
arrowing
down one line at a time. I don't use continuous play because I think I
concentrate and notice more detail one line at a time. The act of
arrowing
down line by line seems to aid my concentration on the task. Reading line
by
line helps me hear when funky formatting is going on as when margins are
all
over the map or fonts go huge, because those problems present as much
shorter or longer sounding lines. Really, I'm not sure that matters as
long
as the paragraph breaks are in the right places.
I'm sorry I can't contribute anything to help you hear page breaks when
JAWS
is continuously reading.
Good luck.
Always with love,
Lissi

As a matter of fact, I am having a similar problem. I have just started
validating a book in which I at first thought that there were no page
breaks. However, when I down arrow one line at a time JAWS reads the page
breaks when I come to them. It just doesn't do so when it is continuously
reading. To make matters worse, none of the pages are numbered. I have
just
inserted the first ten page numbers, but this is too tedious while
reading
the text too. If no other solution is found I think that I will just go
ahead and finish the book on continuous read and then go back and down
arrow
from one page break to another inserting page numbers. By the way, I am
using JAWS 9.0. In a message dated 7/27/2008 8:26:54 P.M. Pacific
