Hi Diane,
the keystrokes for adjusting a selected time range  are:
-To move the end of the selection to the right, so expanding the time range, 
press Shift + Right Arrow.
-To move the end of the selection to the left, so contracting the time range, 
press Ctrl + Shift + Left Arrow.
-To move the start of the selection to the right, so contracting the time 
range, press Ctrl + Shift + Right Arrow.
-To move the start of the selection to the left, so expanding the time range, 
press Shift + Left Arrow.

In the Jaws guide to Audacity, in the selecting audio section there's a sub 
section on adjusting a selected time range. It describes two methods: using the 
keystrokes given above, and using the selection controls on the selection bar.

David.

 Audacity  Hi
 Diane!You can
 zoom in and out using ctl-1 and ctrl-3. This has the effect
 of decreasing or increasing the amount of audio selected by
 pressing shift-cursor-left or right. Press c to preview the
 cut or space bar to hear the selected audio. If you want to
 add or take off very small amounts press ctrl-1 a couple of
 times and use the select or unselect key strokes. If the
 intervals are still too large reverse your action and press
 ctrl-1 again to zoom in even further. Then try
 again.  Cheers,

  Hi
 Everyone,  I am wondering about how to
 make really fine edits with Audacity. Is there an accessible
 way to move the cursor by a fraction of a second and hear
 the results? I have been playing with Reaper, which is a
 paid editing program and it has a scrub feature which allows
 you to hear the audio as you move the arrow keys. Does
 Audacity have a similar feature? All help appreciated.
 Thanks.  Diane
