Could be something as simple as holding the shift key then letting up then holding it down again. I don't know if that is what is happening but that would cause the behavior you describe. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Beto Escobar III" <betoescobar3@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: "JFW List Serve" <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: "Freedom Scientific Support" <support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, October 06, 2004 2:26 PM Subject: A highlighting Problem... > I need some help JFW List Serve Members & F.S. > I am having a lot of difficulty highlighting more than just one word at a time. When I attempt to highlight a second or third word, the highlighting begins to reverse itself. What I mean is instead of having two Words highlighted, the second one will not highlight? What I have to do is just highlight an entire sentence, or line of text, then paste? This problem happens in various programs, MS Word, MS Excel, MS Outlook, as well as MS Outlook Express. Has anyone else had problems like this? Has anyone brought this to the attention of Freedom Scientific (FS)? If they did make F.S. aware of this , what did F.S. say to do? > > A second problem happens as well than just keeping more than one word highlighted. When I highlight a word, JFW does not speak aloud what words, or words I am attempting to highlight? Lastly, when I highlight an entire line of text, and hit a control, c, JAWS says, "no text highlighted", but when I paste, everything that I highlighted is pasted where I placed the marker. > > FYI, I have the latest version of JAWS i.e. 5.1.
