Re: [JAWS-Users] How to select non-contiguous text

Re: [JAWS-Users] How to select non-contiguous text
Hi Brian, As usual, great instructions. However, I do not see this working. When I begin creating a document, I do not worry about formatting for headers, so all of my document is formatted with the same attributes. Once I am satisfied with the content of my document, then I begin applying the various attributes. So if I were to search for text with the same attributes, I would come up with everything in the document.

However, Word 2013 (and I think Word 2010 as well) has a selection tool that can be used to select noncontiguous blocks of text with similar formatting. You start by finding the first occurrence of the text that has the formatting you want to change and select it. Go under the Home tab in the Editing group and there is a Selection menu. In that menu is an option for selecting text with similar formatting. If you choose that option the next occurrence of text with the same formatting as your selection is selected. If you use CTRL+Y repeatedly other blocks of text throughout the document are also selected. JAWS does not report it correctly as if you use the Read Selected Text command JAWS only reads the first block of similar text selected.

When selecting non-contiguous text, or even items from a list view, user needs to hold down the control while navigating to the next text or item to be selected. There's no problem when selecting non-contiguous items in a list view with keyboard. However, I wonder how to do it in a document. Sounds impossible because we also use control key in text navigation, and pressing any arrow keys will immediately unselect selected text.

Re: [JAWS-Users] How to select non-contiguous text
To create an accessible document, it is important to use styles throughout, and in a consistent manner. The styles are then preserved if you create a tagged PDF file, or an HTML file, allowing the recipient to use structural navigation with a screen reader. The other benefit of using styles well is that you can easily change the presentation by modifying a style definition. gs <geoffsli...@gmail.com> wrote: > The best way to accomplish this is through the use of styles.

Re: [JAWS-Users] How to select non-contiguous text
Am very familiar with the copy format and paste format of word. But applying or pasting format to each text could be tedious, especially when working on a very large document. Imagine if we can just select text from different parts of the documents without the worry of unselecting the rest of the text previously selected, all we have to do is to paste the format at ones.

Re: [JAWS-Users] How to select non-contiguous text
The best way to accomplish this is through the use of styles. Create styles that match the formatting attributes for the particular items you want to format and then select each piece and apply the style.

Re: [JAWS-Users] How to select non-contiguous text
My sense is that JAWS operates too linearly for this to work as you describe. However, this idea occurs to me as a workaround. With your main document open, start a new one in which you pre-set the font attributes you want to apply to the passages in question. Then use MS's paste special (control-alt-v) to paste each item into this second file. If it works, the first passage will be formatted the way you want, and then you can substitute it in the original file, again using the paste special command. Note that in this command, you select the format with the up and down arrows. I haven't tested this idea, and it may take a little tweaking.

Re: [JAWS-Users] How to select non-contiguous text
This could work if you have noncontiguous words close enough together; however, through a large document it will become tedious real fast. Move word by word and hold down the shift key to select the word and when you come across a word in the line to not select let up on the shift key. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of abdulaziz dapilin Sent: Saturday, April 23, 2016 7:21 PM To: jaws-users-list <jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com> Subject: [JAWS-Users] How to select non-contiguous text Hi folks. I wonder how to or if its possible to select non-contiguous text in word using keyboard. I am pretty sure that for users who could use mouse pointer it is possible. Have anybody from this group knows how to do it using the keys? Thanks in advance.
