Hi Kelby, Try the information below to see if this will do what you are wanting to accomplish.
The F8 key in Word is a Toggle. You press the F8 key a different number of times to select different amounts of text. Pressing the F8 key 1 time turns extended selection mode on. In this mode you can arrow up or down to select text line by line. Pressing the F8 key 2 times will copy the highlighted word. Pressing the F8 key 3 times will copy the sentence the cursor is in. Pressing the F8 key 4 times will copy the paragraph the cursor is in. Pressing the F8 key 5 times will copy the document. Hope this has helped. Take care.

Is there a way to block text--as in multiple paragraphs--for selection in a document with JAWS? Like highlighting a certain section of thedocument that is not just a line, word or paragraph for copying and/or cutting?
