Hi Flor, Control plus numpad 5 says it reads current paragraph. Jon

Hi, Here's an idea I have had for some time. I am one who sometimes navigates by paragraph - ctrl+DownArrow to read next paragraph; ctrl+UpArrow to read previous paragraph. However, say I want to read the current paragraph, which is not the same thing as reading line by line. (think of this as if you were reading a news story: and you want to 'read that again', something that flagged your attention in the paragraph you are reading but before you proceed onward, you have to repeat to make sure you apprehend it right.) Currently, there is no single keystroke for 'reading current paragraph' or going to the beginning of the paragraph and scrolling it - in Windows terms. I know that the ctrl and arrow keys are Windows movement keys. But people move by paragraph because that's how they want to read or view the writing. perhaps something - a script - could be done with JAWS to make this 'read current paragraph' possible? I hope that makes sense. This lack in Windows is something I've noticed for a long, long time; and something I now think should - and quite easily could - be corrected.
