Dan, I know this is very basic, but did you make sure that your view is set for 
normal in Word as opposed to print view.

Some of the books I have downloaded to validate open in print view.

Sorry if this thought is too basic.

  Hi,

  I installed the latest update to Jaws too and under Windows XP Home and MS 
Office 2003 it does read page breaks on my system.

  In fact, I noticed that it actually works better than it did.

    Hello Fellow Bookshare Volunteers,

    While starting to validate another book this morning, I have noticed that 
the latest JAWS 9.0.2152 no longer appears to read page break characters in 
Word 2003.  My workaround is to press JAWS Key+D and add \012 to the JAWS 
dictionary as a "page break".  I would appreciate hearing from other JAWS 
9.0.2152 users.  Are you experiencing the same issue?  Does applying this 
workaround resolve it for you?

    Thanks.
