Hi all,

I just found this, and wanted to send it to the list, because I have a 
question.

It says, "In many places, such as Microsoft Word, PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN 
don’t actually move the focus by one page, but rather by one screen 
worth of information. This can be very useful but be aware that the 
amount of information which fits on a screen will vary between programs, 
between computers, and will change if the zoom level changes. In Word at 
least, CONTROL+PAGE UP and CONTROL+PAGE DOWN move by one actual page, 
however, to make it a bit more confusing, if you have done a search or 
used Word’s Go-To feature, those keys will now move to the previous or 
next instance of whatever you last searched for."

Now folks, I have never written a Jaws script in my life, but I wish 
someone could write  one, or, I wish I could write one, to make Jaws say 
page numbers in a document, using Word Pad.

I have a document I need to read, but I don't know if just pressing the 
page down command is taking me down 1 page at a time, or not.

I use to use Word, but Word would skip pages in a document, so I 
uninstalled it.

I thought about talking with Microsoft and asking if they would let Word 
Pad say page numbers.

I'll be curious to see what you all think about this. I absolutely, love 
Word Pad, it's worked well for me, for years, but if they only had a way 
to let it say page numbers, that would be great!

Harry
