Hi John,
JAWS is actually reading this as dashes. The only reason I can think of to
keep them is if they were used between sections on a page to preserve a
blank line or white space. But that doesn't seem to be the case here.
To remove them you could highlight the line of dashes and do a "search and
replace," replacing the line of dashes with a space or line break, whichever
seems appropriate.
I also wonder if you added the word "page" before each page number in your
email for our benefit. If they were already in the file I would remove the
word. I don't think we're supposed to include words or extra punctuation by
the page numbers.

Netta,
Thank you for the information. I'm glad that your screen reader was able to
read all the dots. Since they are not meaningful in the context of the
document, I suspect most 'readers' of the book might be put off by a
frequent repetition of 'dot, dot, dot, dot,...'. Any idea about how to get
rid of them?

Hello John,
I am a JAWS user and it "read" fine. Where the dotted lines are, JAWS just
read or said dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot and so on. HTH
