Hello Josh, If you are working in print layout view in word 2007, you should still be able to use down arrow key when on the last line of a page to move to the next page. If the cursor is on the last character on a page, using right arrow key should also be moving focus to the next page. If the cursor is at the top of a page, the up arrow key should be moving the cursor to the bottom of the previous page. If the cursor is in the first character position on a page then the left arrow key should move the cursor to the last character position on the previous page. This behavior has not changed and should be working if you are using print layout view in Word 2007.
If you are using the page layout mode in Word 2007, the right and left arrow keys and the up and down arrow keys should be switching pages. You can click on the screen and use arrow keys for their normal functions, but unless you do that you should be moving a page at a time with right arrow and down arrow keys moving toward the bottom of the document, and focus should move back toward the top of the document a page at a time when using up or left arrow keys. JAWS should speak the page numbers as you use the arrow keys in this layout. In Word 2007, if you use the full screen choice for viewing, the system starts using the page layout mode. JAWS does not work well in this view, but if you have some sight to use when reading the screen then you might like that mode as you can just use arrow keys to move between screens or pages of information. When working in the page layout mode there is no status bar showing at the bottom of the screen, and there is no ribbon at the top of the screen. You can still read the one line of status type information at the top of the window by moving to the status bar using function key 6. Using right and left arrow keys on the status line will move between choices. One of the choices is "view options." The default setting for this mode is to show a page at a time. In the default mode, you can use arrow keys to move a page at a time. The very top line of the window will contain a "view options" button that when clicked will give a menu of choices. You can choose to view two pages at a time, increase or decrease text size, show the printed page, and make other choices. If you choose to use two pages at a time, JAWS will jump two pages at a time when using the arrow keys. The top line of the screen will also show pages 1-2 of so many, 2-3 of so many, etc. Again, this view is a full screen reading view and enables focus to be moved one or two pages at a time by simply using arrow keys, but it is not the best view to work in if you are depending on JAWS for getting information and you are unable to use your sight for reading the screen. The Alt+delete key combination will still let you know the page that is active. You can press escape key to leave the screen layout mode. There is not a Word hotkey for page layout mode but you can easily add one if you want to use that view. The print preview option is different than the print layout view. One difference is that the zoom level goes to 50 percent in print preview. Take care.

This is one of the ways I had found to move from page to page and then I also have found that in print preview you can go to the end of the page, press the end key and then right arrow and this will also take you to the next page. More steps involved but if not in a hurry I sometimes use this. I especially liked the function in MS Word 2003 where when you were at the end of the page you could just press your down arrow to get to the next page. The down arrow alone was a lot simpler method but since I was having to use the control page up and down to get to the previous or next page I thought it might be a setting that i had inadvertently changed. However, I guess as programs evolve we should be ready to change our methods for performing a certain task as well. Thank you for reassuring that I had seen the control page up and down though. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brian Lee" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, September 17, 2010 11:43 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Microsoft Word 2007 and Jaws 10 Problem > Hi Josh, > > I am sure you realize that the first sentence in my previous message > should > have read: > > You can use CTRL+page down and CTRL+page up to move to next or previous > page > respectively. > > Take care. > > Brian Lee > [email protected] > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Josh > Sent: Friday, September 17, 2010 7:58 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Microsoft Word 2007 and Jaws 10 Problem > > Thank you, I thought it was a problem with my Jaws or Microsoft Word.
