Hi Kelby, Control+shift+end will select from where the cursor is to the end of the document. Control+shift+home will select from the cursor to the top of the document. Control+shift+down arrow will select to the next paragraph. Control+shift+up arrow will select from the cursor to the previous paragraph beginning. The control and shift keys with page-up and page-down will select different amounts of text depending upon what application you are using. Sorry I didn't think of these earlier! They are, as Soronel says, Windows commands, not specific to JAWS. Not that that matters, but if you ever switch screen readers, you'll still be able to use these. Happy selecting!
