Dear Larry, Susan, Jackie, Roger and Chela, and Booksharian Friends,Helpful posts here and help in the bookshare classroom from informed and generous Booksharians did the trick! Jaws is saying page break again!!!
Larry, your directions were at the core of the solution. There were fields in that dictionary which I hadn't figured out how to use. You put the code in the top field then tab and type the words page break in the next.
Roger, after a wonderful conversation in the Bookshare classroom, with all the helpers who came, Jackie talked me through the fix. First I checked and found my reading one line at a time worked with JAWS speaking page break just as he used to. Then I listened to continuous reading and JAWS said page break then, too. If you can put all of these dictionary tips together, I hope tomorrow you'll be telling us you're hearing your page breaks as you read continuously. If not, I think that after all of the instruction I've had, even I may be able to help you!
Thanks to all of you! Always with love, Lissi----- Original Message ----- From: "Susan" <slumpkin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

That ok? On 7/27/08, Estelnalissi <airadil@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: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 arrowingdown line by line seems to aid my concentration on the task. Reading lineby 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.

I have just startedvalidating a book in which I at first thought that there were no pagebreaks. 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 continuouslyreading. 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.
