Hi Rich,
I don't currently have J-Say on any of my computers but here's what I suspect
might be going on. I'm not entirely sure but I think it might have to do with
Word and autonumbering. I definitely see this with bulleted lists in Word when
using the keyboard. Instead of using the command, Select Line, try using J-Say
selection. When on a line of text, insure you are at the beginning of the line
by using either the command, JAWS home, or, Go to start of line. Begin the
selection with either, Start selection, or, begin selection. Then move to the
end of the line with either, JAWS end, or, Go to end of line. Then say, End
selection. The line should definitely be selectede then.
If this turns out to be what's going on, you could try numbering the lines with
text instead of numbers. so it could look something like this:
First line, J-Say really rocks.
Give it a shot and let us know.
Sue.

Subject: [j-say list] Text selection issues
Hello:
I am teaching a client how to select text. The simple exercise I am attempting
to have him do goes like this. I have numbered 10 lines, and they are in
random order. His job is to select them, cut them, and put them in order from
1 to 10. Here is the problem we are running into.
When he finds the line he wishes to select and subsequently cut, he issues the
command "select line."
Sometimes, J-Say will announce that the line is selected, and sometimes it
won't. Even when it doesn't, if I use the Jaws keyboare command shift insert
down arrow, Jaws reads the line as if it is selected. However, when my client
issues the command "cut item" as often as not, J-Say will say, blank nothing
selected.
This renders J-Say fairly useless when it comes to reliably selecting and
cutting text.
If I'm doing something wrong, (a possibility I would never rule out) I simply
do not know what it is.
Any ideas/help would be greatly appreciated.
