Unfortunately Word doesn't have a command to select a page. I tried Shift-Control-PageDown just to make sure and it didn't select anything. You will have to select the page or pages you want to move line by line. Just place your cursor right after the page break on the page you want to move. Hold down shift and press Down Arrow listening to what is selected on each press of the down arrow. When you hear PageBreak again you will know that the whole first page of text has been selected. If you want more pages continue to hold down shift and pressing DownArrow. The lat thing you should slect is a PageBreak. Now that you have all the text you want selected press Control-X. It won't matter how much you move around in the document after you have cut the text you want to move to the clipboard, so now you can just move to the top of the page where you want to insert those pages. Hitting Control-PageDown works pretty well to find the top of the desired page. Before pasting the cut pages make sure your cursor is just after the PageBreak and then hit Control-V.

Now if your screen reader continued to cooperate for the whole procedure things are just great. I am just very impatient with selecting huge amounts of text in that tedious way, and you can't stop selecting to look around and make sure you are doing what you intended because then the selecting is lost.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] stuck on page 244, Computer help, Please?


Dear Volunteers,

Near the end of my current validation project, I have been stopped cold by my lack of understanding of how to work with Microsoft Word in the rich text format I downloaded from Bookshare.

4 pages are out of order as in 246, 247, 244, 245. I tried to highlight 246 and 247 and place them after 245, but I'm not succeeding and am not understand the help files I've tried to use as instruction. I thought I should highlight the 2 pages to be moved, but then arrowing erases the highlighting. Then I thought find and replace could help, but I don't know how it would since I want to move something.....

As usual, I don't even know how to phrase my question, but I'd appreciate any suggestions . I really regret not being perceptive enough to help myself more.

Julie, if you are reading this, your new quote is great.

Always With love,

Lissi
