Yes, Gary thanks for putting that whole idea of Shift+F8 in my head last
week. I just wish it would have also solved Bob's problem.

Phil,
I'm glad the Shift+F8 key combination worked for you. It's a browser
keystroke, not a JAWS keystroke, but you can find it in JAWS Help. When
you're in Internet Explorer, hold down your Insert Key, or JAWS Key if you
prefer, and press F1 twice within a second. This will place you on the Help
topic for Internet Explorer. Press Enter and then F6, and you will see
links to Helpful information. Helpful Hints and Keystrokes is the one you
want. On the resulting page, you will find a link to forms. You could read
through the information about forms if you wish, but pressing h a few times
will take you to the Multiple Selection heading.
The Multiple Selection topic may also be covered in Freedom Scientific's
Surf's Up training module, but it's been a long time since I went through
it, and I don't recall.
