Can you use the control a to select all?

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.

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.
Mike

 Brief question from a first-timer.  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?
