Brian, Flor, and all:
Eureka!
I opened MS Word and then the Dictionary manager and added a new entry where
\0012 was to be spoken as a page break.
That's back slash, followed by 0012 with no spaces for those not using
punctuation.
I'm now hearing the words page break for hard page breaks in previously
saved files as well as if I use the Control +Enter to create a hard page
break. WooHoo!
I just wish I didn't have to do all of this configuring for JAWS 10 to
correct things that worked just fine in older versions.
I'm happy I got it fixed, though.
Thanks, guys.
Lisa

Hi,
Unfortunately, any rejoicing here was premature. the only character
recognized by the JDF in that combination for page-break - or when i typed
backslash ANSI0012 - was the backslash \ character. Therefore, JAWS would
read PageBreak in Microsoft word wherever it encountered the backslash
symbol spaced or not. You might check and see if this is the case. the
JAWS Dictionary File will probably read 'backslash equals PageBreak',
which
is not what we actually want it to be. I of course deleted that entry.
(if
it makes a difference: once again, I'm using word 2002.]

Hi brian,
Ah, that all-important backslash - which I misssed the first time. So, I
found that [backslash] \ANSI012 - with one zero not two - has done the
trick.

Hello Flor,
Yes, I am quite familiar with ANSI and ASCII codes and mistakenly
referenced
the wrong code. However, as I mentioned in my post to Lisa, using a
backslash followed immediately by 0012 in the actual word control of the
JAWS dictionary and then using PageBreak in the replacement word control
will cause JAWS to announce a pagebreak. At least it does on the system I
am using as I tried it before posting. Of course, it has to be done for a
program that allows page breaks.
Take care.
