Hi, I was given the following feedback on my project Jack of Kinrowan and I wrote back. I wouldn't mind trying to do what is suggested except I don't know how to go about this stuff. How must I set my screen reader to know about all this stuff I'm supposed to know about? Help please.

Kim, I just approved your
proof, as you probably already know. Congratulations on getting all those
double page numbers out! That must have taken a lot of
work. I thought you might
appreciate begin taken seriously so even though the book is already live in the
collection, I wrote some notes for you. There are 2 important issues for
you to be on the lookout for on your next proof (after you recover from this
one, that is!). Then I've listed 8
very minor items which I nonetheless thought you might want to be aware
of. They each are, Kim, truly trivial. Important: 1. Chapter 12 begins
on page 118. Chapter 14 begins on page 140. But there's no
chapter that is marked Chapter 13. 2. Font
sizes Line 2 through line 6
on page 2, are in 24 point font size. Nothing in any book
should ever be in a font size larger than 20 point. Trivial (as in: don't
worry about it!) 1. the 3rd page
of the file is still an upper case Roman numeral "III". 2. no page
number on p. 34. 3. there are
several tab characters in the file. 4. a number of
the chapter headings have numbers whose "Position" has been "lowered", rather
than having "normal" positioning. The numbers appear as if they are
subscript, but they are not subscript. One must go to the "Character
Spacing" tab of the Font dialog to see this. Examples of this are for the
chapter headings of chapters 2, 5, 6 and 12. 5. also for
many of the chapter headings, the word "Chapter" is in "Small Caps", which we do
not want. 6. don't do any
indenting, of any kind, ever. Said another way, always remove all
indenting from the scan. On p. 164, the chapter heading has a "First line
indent". Don’t remove individual instances of indenting. Instead,
select the entire document and uncheck various indenting settings in the
Paragraph dialog. 7. as you
probably know, the first lines at the beginning of each chapter often have
paragraph marks that shouldn't be there. This is often because the very
first letter of the very first word of a new chapter is a "drop cap", or a huge
letter. After the text of Chapter 11 begins, the first 3 paragraph marks
should not be there. 8. There are several
garbage characters in the first sentence of page 20, immediately after the words
"three nights ago". Way to hang in there
on this proof and congratulations again on all your hard work, and much time
spent! Rick Rick
