I'm sure he can; but that is not what the original requester wants to
do.

Can you use the control a to select all?

Text with JAWS 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?
