[JAWSLite] Re: Text selection

I think the Homer package may support something that would help you. I didn't look it up in the documentation, but I seem to recall that it had a feature where you could set a marker, move to another point in the document and then cut or copy anything from the current position back to the marker. If this isn't enough to get you started, let me know, and I'll see if I can find the time to look through the Homer documentation myself.

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

You can also hold down ctrl+shift, and press the end key, and it will select all the text in one fowl swoop. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Partrick" <dpartrick@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

I use control and shift for selecting blocks of text. If you start with 
your cursor at the beginning, then hold shift and arrow right, you will
select a block, one character at at time.  if you hold down control and
shift and arrow right, you will select a word at a time and if you use down arrow, you will select a line at a time. Of course it works in reverse with 
left and up arrows.

Hope that helps.
