Hello All:

Someone asked me how you can have JAWS read what has been selected.  For
example, if you select some text in a document, he wanted to know how
you can have JAWS read back that text to you so you know it has been
selected.  I know there's a keystroke to do this, but I've been all over
the JAWS help menus and can't find it.  I know I'll kick myself when I
get the answer, but can someone tell me what that keystroke is for
reading highlighted or selected text?

Thanks,
