I too do not use that keystroke much and so always have to give a second thought. I had a student who forgot a lot of the keystrokes but that was one she always remembered.

That's pretty easy to remember. So why can't I remember it (also kicking myself for that one)? I suppose it's because I don't feel the need to use it very often to confirm what it is I've selected, so that when I do have a moment of uncertainty about that, I can't remember the keystroke. but I just practiced it on a few words in the last sentence, and it works great, and Jaws even says it's telling you what's selected, so you don't have to just guess that it's working right. Although I'll bet that's because my Jaws verbosity isn't set to Advanced, which probably silences that message. But I appreciate the message, myself. So thanks a lot. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jason Boston" <jwb3301@xxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, September 04, 2007 9:27 AM Subject: RE: Question that I'll Probably Kick Myself For When I Find the Answer It's insert+downarrow+shift (jawsKey+downarrow+shift) -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ray Campbell Sent: Tuesday, September 04, 2007 11:23 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Question that I'll Probably Kick Myself For When I Find the Answer 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?
