Hi donna,
perhaps if you interact with the ruller, you might find the page break
markers there.

David,
Had some email issues, but finally got the file onto my Windows
machine. And yes, the page breaks are there. This is a good thing, I
think I’ll write to Apple and see if there’s some way to get VO to
indicate it.

have you tried open your mac saved file in windows to see if the page
breaks are there?

Hmm. Well, the file is an RTF file. These files have always
displayed page breaks in Word for Windows. I'm pretty sure that the
file type in Text Edit is set to RTF. I think that's the default, and
I didn't change it.

since you can save in several formats using text edit, it is possible
that the page breaks are not preserved due to the selected file type.

I don't get it either. But it was actually a sighted Mac user who
also volunteers for Bookshare, who told me this.

A word about page breaks in text edit. Text edit must preserve page
breaks otherwise, why would it allow you to insert them?

Thanks, David. Can you say more about what you mean by "with the right
template"? Sorry if this is a dumb question. Since I'm still on the
fence about keeping the Mac, I haven't opened IWork yet, because I was
hoping to return it if I don't keep the computer.
Thanks,
Donna

it is not but I believe pages will do what you need. open office is
free and will probably do this too but since you already have pages,
once you get it oing with the right template, it should be fine.

Hi all,
I have chatted with a couple other Bookshare volunteers, and it seems
that Text Edit will not do the trick, as it doesn't preserve page
breaks. I think I recall some discussion a few weeks back about Office
not being accessible, but wanted to clarify. Is Word for the Mac
accessible?
Thanks,
Donna
