Hi Kim, I have another choice for you: I have written an app named Word Advanced Features, and it allows you to drop a placemark anywhere in your Word document, then move somewhere else, and hit a hotkey which causes it to select all the text between your placemark and your current location.
You could even use this method with your suggested use of read-to-end, by placing your placemark first, and then when you stop the reading, get your position exactly where you want it, and press the hotkey for selection of the text from the placemark to this location. hth, Chip -----Original Message----- From: Kim Lingo [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, November 28, 2011 2:59 PM To: [email protected] Subject: problem with Office hot key Hi everyone, I was listening to the pod casts put out a while ago by GW. Micro about using Window-Eyes with MicroSoft Word. One thing that the speaker mentioned was the ability to have extended selection of text by pressing F8, and using the arrow keys or the control and arrow keys with having to also hold down the shift key. After not being able to make this work, I called their tech support people, and they informed me that it doesn't work now ever since version 7.5. I can live with that, but I have a suggestion for the future. How about instead of still having to use the control and arrow keys with this "extended selection" option, you would have the ability to have the text selected by using the "read-to-end" key after pressing the F8 key? When you want to stop the selection, you could press the F8 key again. Can anyone think of a reason why that wouldn't work?
