I just tried shift+ctrl+right arrow in outlook express and have no problem 
with highlighting multiple consecutive words.

Subject: A highlighting Problem...


I need some help JFW List Serve Members & F.S.
I am having a lot of difficulty highlighting more than just one word at a 
time.  When I attempt to highlight a second or third word, the highlighting 
begins to reverse itself.  What I mean is instead of having two Words 
highlighted, the second one will not highlight?  What I have to do is just 
highlight an entire sentence, or line of text, then paste?  This problem 
happens in various programs, MS Word, MS Excel, MS Outlook, as well as MS 
Outlook Express.  Has anyone else had problems like this?  Has anyone 
brought this to the attention of Freedom Scientific (FS)?  If they did make 
F.S. aware of this , what did F.S. say to do?

A second problem happens as well than just keeping more than one word 
highlighted.  When I highlight a word, JFW does not speak aloud what words, 
or words I am attempting to highlight?  Lastly, when I highlight an entire 
line of text, and hit a control, c, JAWS says, "no text highlighted", but 
when I paste, everything that I highlighted is pasted where I placed the 
marker.

FYI, I have the latest version of JAWS i.e. 5.1.  I was, however, having 
this same difficulty in the previous version as well.  Any and all 
assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Beto Escobar III, LMSW
