Not exactly. I didn't explain well enough. Try it this way. If you can use 
character or word navigation and have JAWS read the number, it's in the book. 
If you can't find it with JAWS, chances are it's part of the Word document. The 
way I double-check if it's a Word document number is to pause JAWS, arrow up 
and listen for a page number. If I'm right, JAWS will verbalize the preceding 
Word page number. Arrow down once, and JAWS will verbalize the next Word page 
number, the one that you heard initially.

Strange how hard it seems to explain this. I should add that I'm assuming you 
have Word set to print.

So, the second number is written in the text?  I will check that out tomorrow 
morning.  My previous college I didn't have that experience, I was like um, it 
was page 20? When it really was not.

Thank you!

Yes. A way to tell which is which is to pause JAWS when you hear a number. If 
it's written in the text, you know it's from the book. If it's a Word document 
page number, you'll be able to tell when you up-arrow back to the previous 
line. JAWS will verbalized the preceding number as shown in the word document 
and not the book.

Subject: pages in word

My university scanned a chapter of my book so while I was reading it, I kept 
hearing two different page numbers.  I'm wondering is one number the word 
document, and is the other number the actual page of the textbook?
If I'm correct on this that would be helpful as when reporting/doing homework 
and whenever using a passage from the textbook, I must include the page number 
of where I obtain that info. Thoughts?
