Robert what you were on is the desktop page, and it was reading you the list of possible backgrounds. Control tab between the various tabs and you will find a page for themes and one for appearance. Bliss is fine.

Debbie, To answer your first question: Jaws says nothing for either shift down arrow, or control C. I've experimented with them anyway plus using paste with no results. Also I've used insert shift down arrow I also went to control pannel, then display, entered which brought up properties; tabbed through various items where the only one having to do with background was "list of backgrounds. I arrived on number 5 which was called "bliss". There are several dozen on the list. So, should I remain in this state of "bliss" or chance something else? (smile) Boband it doesn't say selected. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Debbie Scales" <debbie@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, June 02, 2006 6:38 PM Subject: Re: How to copy some words from webpage? > Robert, of those three radio buttons, which one was selected? > What I meant was when you press shift down arrow, does jaws say selected? > And then if you press control C does jaws say copied selected text to > clipboard? > And even if Jaws doesn't say that.
