Hi Flor, The way understood the steps is you used the keystrokes to cut the lines of text in the order in which you want them to be in the target file. I tried this in Word 2002 & it didn't work. Was I doing it wrong? Probably so! What I need to try is doing this in Word 2010. But, the steps say to select the lines of text in the order in which you want them to appear in the target file. Isn't this what you do when appending to the clipboard? I understand the appending to the clipboard is a Jaws feature, where the Strike feature is a Word feature. Am I wrong in my assumption? Thank you very much for your reply.
Take care.

I think you may also have explained the differences between it and appending to your clipboard in your example. You can manipulate the selected (or spiked) text however you like with the Spike, whereas when you append to the clipboard it stays the way you appended it till you transfer it to your target document. that's my undeveloped or rough understanding at the moment. others may have better explanations. . ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike B." <[email protected]> To: "Jaws-Users List" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, August 21, 2012 10:21 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Spike Feature In Word 2010 > Hi All, > > > > Have any of you heard of the Spike feature in Word 2010?
