Kelby, select from current position to end of the document with shift plus control key plus page end. this will highlight all the text to the end of the document and then I would press the "applications" key and up arrow to copy to clipboard. then paste into a new document with the applications key and use that option of paste again using the applications key.

Let us say I need to copy a chapter from a textbook that is several pages long. How can I do this, other than going paragraph by paragraph and appending? I know sighted people can do this, and I can do it quite easily with a notetaker. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike & Barbara In Arcadia" <[email protected] To: <[email protected] Date sent: Sun, 24 Jul 2011 16:48:49 -0700 Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Blocking Text with JAWS 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?
