After you press F8, and cursor placed at the beginning of the first page
of what you want to copy, press ctrl+PageDown the requisite number of
times to copy the number of pages in the chapter, etc. then copy to
clipboard, and paste it in where you want it to be. It may not be as
handy a method as is available on your note-taker. Another alternative
would be for you to look for the Homer Library (developed by hjamal
mazrui) which is a JAWS-script-based set of files that works together
with JAWS to give extended functionalities, among which is the treatment
of blocks of text. (Homer Script Library.)

This actually was not what I am asking. 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?
