Well, the section sign is not the same as the section break. I was able to
determine that much. However, while I can create section breaks in Word, they
are invisible to K1000. I have not yet been able to find the ASCII value of the
section break so as to try and see if I can locate them with K1000, even if it
does not speak them.
I was wrong in that you cannot just put your cursor on a character like that
and have it's value spoken to you the way you can with letters and numbers. I
guess I should have expected that, the section break being a control character
like the page break or hard return, which don't actually appear as such in the
document.

I would imagine that if you knew what the ANSI (or is it ASCII)? value of the
section break character was, then you could change the section breaks into page
breaks in K1000 using the alt key method. That shouldn't be too hard to find
out. I think this method should be possible whether K1000 recognizes them or
not. If this method is not possible, then I doubt there's another way to
replace them.
There is a character that K1000 does recognize called the section sign, which
has value 0167. But I am not sure if this is the section break or not. If not,
then I would be interested to know what the value for the section break is, so
I can test whether K1000 can be used to replace them. Although I haven't needed
to do that lately. The last few books I have gotten had page breaks already.
If someone has JAWS or Window Eyes, and they have a document with the section
break in it, then it is an easy matter to find out what the value of the
character is. In JAWS, just hit the 5 key on the numpad three times, and it
will give you the value; in Window Eyes, you can get it by hitting control and
the delete on the numpad together. Make sure the numlock is off first.

Exactly what is a section break, please? I don't recognize these in braille
books and I assume it doesn't mean a new chapter. When scanning a book, are
section breaks recognized by Kurzweil? Thank you. Jill

Hi, Bob. To my knowledge, Kurzweil cannot recognize the section breaks in
Carrie's scans. FineReader inserts them, and that's something Carrie can't
change. She would if her software would allow it. Someone else may know things
I don't. When I take one of Carrie's books, I load it into Word and fix the
section breaks. I save it and then load it in Kurzweil to finish validating.
That scheme works well for me. I wish I had a better answer to give you.
