Hi Monica,

When in Ms Word, to increase the paper size, go into the file menu. Down arrow until you hit "page set-up." Hit enter there. Next Control-Tab here once to where it says "paper size." Tab once to the combo box for paper size. Down arrow until you hit legal then tab to the "ok" button and hit enter. You are now good to go and soft page breaks should have disappeared. Please ask again if any of my instructions are not working as you expect.

Peace,
Mayrie

Hi Monica,

If you are hearing JAWS say a page number, but see no such number on your braille display, but see page breaks followed by consecutive and consistent page numbering in other places in the book, it is possible that you need to increase the paper size in MSWord. If the paper size is too small to accommodate the amount of print that would appear on a page, Word inserts what are called soft page breaks to let you know where it would change pages. If you choose the largest paper size, you will see only the real and actual page breaks in the book.

/As to your question about the asterisks, you should leave those alone if no other text appears on the page above the chapter headings. Those asterisks are there to preserve the chapter headings, to protect them from the stripper.

Peace,
Mayrie

Hello all. I am validating my first book in a long time. In the book, I am using Jaws 8 to read and I'm reading the book with MS Word. I also have a braille display. My question is, I can hear Jaws say the words 'page 10' for example but I don't see the page number on the braille display. Also, ablove the words Chapter 1 there is a set of stars. Do I leave the stars there so the stipper doesn't remove the chapter number? Thanks.
