Hi Ali,
Here are instructions to make JAWS announce page breaks in Word. This has
been something that needs to be added to the JAWS dictionary since JAWS 10
or so.
To Make JAWS say "Page Break" in Word, you need to add the entry "page
break" to your dictionary If you use word, do the following
1. open your document in word (any document will do for this).
2. do insert-d to open the dictionary manager.
3. There should already be a jaws word dictionary but jaws will ask to
create the file if not.
4. space on the "add" button.
5. in the "actual word" field,type the backslash symbol and then 012
unspaced from each other.
6. in the "what you want jaws to say" field, type "page break"
7. save with control-s and check in your document to see if page breaks are
announced now.
Hope that helps.
Mayrie

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Minor Problem with MSWord 2003 and JAWS 13
hello,
I upgraded to JAWS 13.0.718 recently, and have noticed that when using Word
2003 to read the RTF files, new page breaks are not announced as they were
in earlier versions of JAWS, which could be a problem when making sure all
pages are proceeded by a page break. Luckily, I'll be upgrading to Word 2007
soon, so perhaps that will fix it, but until then, does anyone have any idea
how to get the announcements back, assuming that's possible, or will I just
need to trust that wherever there is a running header and a page number,
there is a page break as well until I upgrade? I've tried everything I can
think of, and it won't inconvenience me much if it can't be fixed, as I've
found that the amount of times a page did not have a propper break is in the
single digits, but it would be nice to be completely sure so as to cause the
least inconvenience for everyone.
Thanks,
Ali
