Hi Katherine, WE does tell you as you select a line (it says selected after reading the line you just selected). If you ever want to hear the entire block of selected text, you use the read highlighted text command (by default, this is control-shift-m). As Vaughn mentioned, the extended text selection mode of word is very good for doing a lot of text selecting; also, I have an app named Word Advanced Features, which allows you to specify a placemark in a Word document, and then gives you a hotkey for selecting all the text from that placemark location to your current location when you press the hotkey. hth, Chip
_____ From: Katherine Moss [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, November 03, 2011 9:26 PM To: [email protected] Subject: secondary or ex-JAWS users might know or remember this Hi all, I'm curious if turning on word navigation mode is the only way for users to get the same paragraph by paragraph experience in WE as they can in JAWS. You know how in JAWS, when navigating a Word document, one can use the control and down arrow at the same time to allow for the reading of the document paragraph by paragraph as oppose to line by line. Control Up arrow is the reversal of this. Is this possible in WE? And also, as oppose to JAWS, WE doesn't read that text is selected by telling you so. I only knew that I selected text a while ago because I have enough vision to see the highlight background. Thanks all. Katherine Moss, Administrator of the AccessCop Network, previously Raeder24.org.
