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. ----- Original Message ----- From: robert Doc Wright To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, November 06, 2009 3:45 PM Subject: Re: Hi is there a way to mark some selected text whith out holding shift and using the arrows keys?

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
