No, I didn't defeat it, and I've never objected to Jaws speaking my Word
page breaks. I want to know that stuff. True, I'd rather still be able to
see where my pages divided than to have to listen to Jaws about it, but I
can't turn my retinal degeneration on and off with the equivalent of Insert
V. So I'm okay with that.
As for the links announcements, I didn't defeat that, either. It always used
to announce active links and email addresses. All I mind about the feature
in Jaws 9 is that 1. it screams this information in a high-pitched voice
that turns out to be Eloquence Glenn on nitrous oxide gas, and 2. it speaks
"end link," too, which I find useless and stress-inducing beyond my limit of
toleration that I've learned to accept having to listen to a screen reader
day and night in the first place. Enough is enough, already.
But I haven't found a way to turn that off. I've simply figured out that it
was Glenn, gone into individual voices in the Jaws/Options/Voices menu, and
lowered his pitch a few steps so he's not so shrill.

You say you have it covered. Did you find a solution?
I found one that works for announcing page numbers and section breaks.
While in word go hit jaws key + v (insert+v) and downarrow until you
find a control labeled page, section, and multiple column breaks. You
can hit the space bar until you hear "off" and then hit enter. It will
save the settings and you won't hear jaws tell you about page numbers
anymore.
I haven't looked for a solution for links yet, but I bet there is one in
there too.

Hi,
nothing so elaborate is necessary. I think that speech and sounds
manager is
meant for other purposes. Anyway, I've got it covered. Thanks.

Try speech and sounds manager in configuration manager. I have never
messed with this and in the first list mine is set to classic. Remember
Jaws key F1 will tell you what things do there.

Hi,
whoever recommended I go back to the Options menus under individual
voices, that wasn't it. Just as I thought, that dialogue is really just
for assigning individual voices (Reed, Grandma, etc.) to various
functions or events if you care to.
and back in the global voices dialogue, the only thing about setting
pitch increments concerns capital letters.
I did look in the settings menu of Configuration Manager, but I couldn't
find any category that had anything to do with adjusting anything to do
with the voice output.
So I'm stumped. Looks like I'm just going to have to put up with Jaws
yelling at me every time I arrow up or down over a Word page break or
encounter somebody's email address or an active link within a document.
It's pretty loud, high and obnoxious.
