[JAWSLite] Re: Text selection

This is for Word and perhaps you can make it fit your needs:
This assumes you know the ending point of where you want to select text. 
What I might do is go to the last place you
want to select text and type in ***.
Go to where you want to begin selecting text.
Press f8 for extended select mode.
Press control F for the find command and type in the ending point.  As 
with this example ***.
Press escape to leave the find dialog and the text will be selected from 
the
beginning to the ending point, now do with it what you will.
Press escape to leave extended select mode.

That I do know.

The problem is that, if, for example, I was in a large text file 
containing
something around 30 short stories, and I wanted to select one specific 
one,
somewhere in the middle, I could easily get to the start of it by doing 
a
search for the story number, or the chapter no. or something, but then, 
I'd
either have to try hitting page down, while holding in the shift key, 
and
hope that I didn't get too far without realising where I was, or I'd 
have to
go down one line at a time for ages until I got to where I actually 
wanted
to be.

Anyway, it's good that all you guys are passing on suggestions.

Cheers

Jacob
