So, that we have the same terminology. You are wanting to mark block of text?

Hi, Robert. Agreed, these keystrokes are useful. But the question is a valid 
one and points to a failing in JAWS. It would be extremely helpful to have the 
capacity to choose start and end points for text selection, which is so easy to 
do with a mouse.

Selecting text from cursor to the end of line: shift end from cursor to the 
beginning of line: shift home
from cursor to the end of document: control shift end
from cursor to the beginning of document: control shift home to select a page 
at a time: shift page up or down

Hi everyone, I was just wondering with jaws, is there a way to kind of mark 
some selected text from a starting point and go to where you want to mark the 
end? I wondered if there is a command for this in Jaws as I don't know. If any 
one uses a programme which is also a screenreader called NVDA I think it is 
NVDA key plus F9 then NVDA says "start mark" and when you have selected from 
where you started and then go to where you want to end it is NVDA plus F10 then 
all you have to do is paste it with Control V. Is there a way to do this with 
jaws? Thanks Daniel
