Bill, In Notepad? That's a surprise for me.

I've used undo to go back several commands, as many as 6 or 7.

Undo only works on the *LAST* command.

Oh, boy can't tell you how many time's I've accidentally done that, and wondered where all the text went. Sure is nice to have undo.

I was in the UK from 15th June to 4th July, so I am Catching up. Although I took my laptop, I could not get it fixed until a few days before my return. Too late to worry about email and the like, until I got back. The CTRL+A command is the Windows command for highlighting all text in a document, email message, etc, regardless as to where the cursor is in the text. The CTRL+A command, cannot be used to unhighlight text. Using any of the arrow keys, page up and page down keys and the home and end keys will unhighlight any text that is highlighted. Warning! If you have selected/highlighted any text, Pressing a key that inserts a character, including a space character, will result in the text that is selected/highlighted, being deleted. If you accidentally do this, press CTRL+Z to undo your last action and restore the highlighted text.

When I pressed control-a a second time, JAWS said, "Unselected." this was in an email message. Perhaps it works in XP, which I have, but not Windows 7, which I know you've advanced to. The only other explanation must be that I'm not an Anasazi! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Cy Selfridge Sent: Tuesday, June 15, 2010 9:09 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: JAWS latest trick Hi Adrian, Yes, I gave it a try but nothing changed. Now, even more interesting is the fact that when I am in an email and press ctrl+A I do hear "selected" but when in a folder such as "deleted items" or whatever I hear (nothing selected? In both cases the keystroke actually works properly although JAWS does not think so. (LOLLOLLOL) Oh well, maybe JAWS V12?

I think CTRL+A always selects everything.

In Outlook when I press ctl+a to select all messages in the folder JAWS dutifully reports that "Nothing selected" - but - when I do the shift+delete and then confirm guess what, everything *WAS* selected and all is gone. Just thought I would mention the misinformation so someone is not lulled into thinking that nothing war really selected and makes an unfortunate discovery. (LOL) Cy, The Anasazi jus
