I tried Colin's method for creating a new file from a portion of a longer one. Everything worked great - until I tried to gt to the File menu in the new window; then, for some reason, both Wincoweyes and JAWS failed to read any menu choices. I tried maximizing the window but that didn't work. Anybody got any suggestions on how to fix this problem? As I said, other than that, Colin's suggestion worked perfectly!

From: Dane Trethowan Sent: Tuesday, September 22, 2015 4:01 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: Goldwave question Instead of trying to use regions why don't you just select the portion of sound - say from beginning to end of track - and save the selection to a separate file? That way the procedure will work whatever editor you use whether that be Sound Forge, Goldwave, Amadeus Pro, Total Recorder or anything else.
