Hey it worked, it worked, I went into formatting settings and set underline to
none like Melissa after selecting all then hit ok, looks like a winner solution
and I appreciate all the help I've had thus far, and I have the ending result
it has been approved, Chela

Hi Bob,
Oh, my. My very bad! You are right! I tested again and realized you
are right. It only turns off all underlining if you are sitting on a segment
of underlined text. I'm sorry! I didn't test well enough. What you say is
true, if you select all, and toggle underlining when sitting on text that isn't
underlined, the entire document will be underlined thereafter. However, you
can undo this easily by repeating the process.
I will test more carefully from now on. Thanks for catching my inaccuracy,
and incomplete test.
Mayrie

Hi Mayrie.
If she wants to turn off underlining for the entire book and does a
control+a, when she does the control+u what happens to the text that is not
underlined?
My thinking is that it will be underlined, or, if she isn't on a chunk of
underlined text when she does this, the entire document might be underlined.

Hi Chela,
Did my other message answer this question? Probably, as I said
selecting the entire document by pressing control+a, then turning off all
underlining by pressing control+u,and saving the document should work.
Again insert+f (the insert key on the numberpad) will tell you quickly
if any of the text selected is underlined. But you have to select the text
first, or it doesn't know what text you're talking about.
Sorry, that was weirdly stated. Ask again if I've been clear as mud.

Oh yeah, one more thing, my braille display died and so I'm doing this all
by speech feedback and JFW is not telling me what is and isn't underlined
though bookshare told me that on page 30 after the line, "If I whimper,"
everything else is underlined and that that is a definite no no, don't know how
it was so, because all I did was read and corrected a few misspelled words, I'm
getting annoyed, but I know it has got to be done.

Hi Reggie and Sue,
When JAWS is speaking, it says that it has moved to another page when
passing over a soft page break. When it passes over a hard page break, it says
"page break."
What I suggest is to get rid of soft page breaks altogether by
increasing your paper size to custom, making it 20 inches long or so. Then you
never have to deal with the soft page breaks at all.
I have seen books where the proofreader obviously got confused about
which was which and put page numbers just after soft page breaks, mucking up
the book. Just get rid of them, as I said, by increasing your paper size.
That will make them disappear.

Hi Reggie,
The only way you know there is a soft page break is if there are extra
blank lines. Jaws tells you when there are hard page breaks in Word, but not
soft page breaks.
Hope this helps,
Sue S.

What is a soft page btreak. How does Jaws indicate this? Now doing all
work in Word (yes got rid of my Pac Mate) so I need to know what pitfalls to be
aware of in Word. I am using a Focus 40 besides Jaws. Any help from those
using Word would be appreciated. Thanks.
