shift with arrow keys moves the cursor like when you use the arrow keys normaly but it selects text so shift up/down arrow moves by line and selects the text. shift left/right arrow moves by character and selects text. shift home selects to the beginning of line and shift end selects to end of line. Shift control home selects from cursor to top of document and shift control end selects from cursor to bottom of document. In JAWS, once you have selected the text you want, you can confirm the selection with Shift, Insert and number pad 2. Then, control c coppies to clipboard (leaving the original copy of the text where it is), Control X cuts the text (removes the original copy). Control v willl then paste the contents of the clipboard in the new place, wherever the cursor is. You can do this across documents i.e. copy or cut text from one document to the clipboard and paste into another. Typing while text is selected will replace the text with what you type. Use control z to undo this if you do it by accident. You can also use the backspace or delete keys while text is selected to remove all selected text.

Hi, Can someone tell me, please? how I am able to delete or move chunks of text from within a document. I'm assuming that some kind of markers are involved here. Sorry for the seemingly simple questions, but I'm still getting to grips with things... Thanks so much for your help. Kind regards, Angela. ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq __________ NOD32 1.1307 (20051128) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
