Hi Mayrie.

If she wants to turn off underlining for the entire book and does a control+a, 
when she does the control+u what happens to the text that is not underlined?

My thinking is that it will be underlined, or, if she isn't on a chunk of 
underlined text when she does this, the entire document might be underlined.

  Hi Chela,

      Did my other message answer this question?  Probably, as I said selecting 
the entire document by pressing control+a, then turning off all underlining by 
pressing control+u,and saving the document should work.

      Again insert+f (the insert key on the numberpad) will tell you quickly if 
any of the text selected is underlined.  But you have to select the text first, 
or it doesn't know what text you're talking about.  

  Sorry, that was weirdly stated.  Ask again if I've been clear as mud.

  Oh yeah, one more thing, my braille display died and so I'm doing this all by 
speech feedback and JFW is not telling me what is and isn't underlined though 
bookshare told me that on page 30 after the line, "If I whimper," everything 
else is underlined and that that is a definite no no, don't know how it was so, 
because all I did was read and corrected a few misspelled words, I'm getting 
annoyed, but I know it has got to be done.

    Hi Reggie and Sue,

        When JAWS is speaking, it says that it has moved to another page when 
passing over a soft page break.  When it passes over a hard page break, it says 
"page break."  

        What I suggest is to get rid of soft page breaks altogether by 
increasing your paper size to custom, making it 20 inches long or so.  Then you 
never have to deal with the soft page breaks at all.  

        I have seen books where the proofreader obviously got confused about 
which was which and put page numbers just after soft page breaks, mucking up 
the book.  Just get rid of them, as I said, by increasing your paper size.  
That will make them disappear.  

    Mayrie

    Hi Reggie,

    The only way you know there is a soft page break is if there are extra 
blank lines.  Jaws tells you when there are hard page breaks in Word, but not 
soft page breaks.

    Hope this helps,
    Sue S.

    What is a soft page btreak.  How does Jaws indicate this? Now doing all 
work in Word (yes got rid of my Pac Mate) so I need to know what pitfalls to be 
aware of in Word.  I am using a Focus 40 besides Jaws.  Any help from those 
using Word would be appreciated.  Thanks.
    Reggie
