Okay. I decided to move character by character to examine it more closely. I have attribute changes on, so I can hear changes in font. Well, The document is in times new roman, the normal page breaks are in tahoma, and the donging page break is in arial 

. Not sure why, but I'm guessing that has something to do with why it dongs.

Mayrie, I agree with you. Occasionally we get the dong sound rather than the words page break, but the hard page break symbol is there. I would love to know why the dong occurs, but I have no clue.

HI Melissa,
Since ^m showed you the donging thingy as the next page break, I'd assume that it is indeed the next page break. I do wonder why the dong, instead of 
the normal response to passing a page break.  But computers are animals
which I only vaguely understand.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Page Breaks
Question regarding page breaks. I know there's a difference between hard and 
soft page breaks, and I know how my screenreader reports the difference.
However, in the book I'm currently proofing, I've come across something
strange. When I read past this one particular page break, I hear a dong.
Normally, I would hear page break for a hard page break. A soft break would 
simply say page 7 and then on the next line say page 8. So, I placed my
cursor a few lines above this page break and did a search for ^m to find the next page break. The donging page break is the next occurrence of ^m that 
was encountered. So, can I safely assume that this is a hard page break?

Thanks,

Melissa
