Hi there,
Unfortunately, you do need software that will recognize, preserve, and
announce page breaks. From what I know, and I don't use NVDA but JAWS, the
two pieces of software best able to do what you need to do when proofreading
are either Word, or Kurzweil 1000.
Sorry to tell you what may be inconvenient news.
But happy proofreading!

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Proofreading Software
I've just been approved for volunteering for a second time. I used to be on
this list a long time ago but had a different e-mail address. I remember
some of the names here.
But my question is about screen readers and pagination, and what software
works best to edit books. I tried opening the book in both WordPad and
OpenOffice, but I don't get any feedback on page breaks. If it helps, I'm
using the NVDA screen reader. Do I need to purchase MS Word for the sake of
pagination? Thanks in advance for your help.
