In a .dxp file you could highlight a range of paragraphs, then press
Alt-L,
O to convert that range into a single block with its hard returns
converted
to spaces. I don't use this command nearly as often as Alt-L, J, which
preserves the line endings in a style such as a heading, but this might
work for you.
Using Window-Eyes, I don't find highlighting in DBT to be all that
difficult. You do need to keep track of what mode you are in. For
instance, ctrl-H toggles highlighting mode for the un-shifted cursor
keys. If you highlight some material and then delete it, this turns the
ctrl-H function off automatically. If you have used ctrl-H to highlight
some material to be joined into a single style, the completion of the
join
operation doesn't turn ctrl-H mode off as a deletion would. I have a
sound
efffect set for when a menu closes. The J key under the Layout menu is
disabled if material is not highlighted. Alt-L opens the menu. But if
J
is disabled, the menu close sound tells me that this command did not
take,
and I need to highlight some material first.
For putting material into computer braille style, I use
ctrl-shift-rightArrow, followed by a couple of shift-leftArrows to
highlight the exact amount of text I want, and not apply the Comp-inline
style to any trailing punctuation mark or space. Window-Eyes says what
is
being selected or unselected. You just have to make sure that ctrl-H
highlight mode is not turned on, since you are using the shifted arrow
keys
instead of non-shifted.
This may sound rather confusing. Highlighting is probably quite obvious
to
sighted users, but unless you ask your screen reader for it, you might
miss
the information and therefore not try to use the feature.
