It was late when I asked that question and I was also doing homework lol. Sorry for being dense haha.
After going back to it last night, jaws did say page 10, and it showed the word page and the number 10. All is well now. Thank you.

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.

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!

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.

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?
