Well, I tried it again but, alas, to no avail. JAWS still stedfastly sticks
to it's opinion that nothing was selected even though everything *WAS*
properly selected.
I really have no clue other than a couple of days ago Crystal changed the
overall text size through the control panel to "medium". I ran JAWS through
a good test with the larger font and most things seemed to work - except -
the blamed spell checker. It was simply out somewhere in left field and
would not give me any feedback as to what word was wrong or what suggestions
it might have.
We changed the text size back to "small or normal" and everything seemed to
go back to the usual quirks - except - this is about when JAWS started the
"nothing selected" thing.
I also think I got a Microbloat update along in here so, who knows!

When I tried Laura's suggestion, the first press of control-a resulted in
JAWS saying, "Selected." 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!

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?

Did you test Laura's suggestion? I just did, and she's right. It's useful
information.

I don't think ctrl+a ever unselects anything. I think CTRL+A always selects
everything.

Hit control a twice that way you can make sure that everything is selected
and unselected that's just my advice. Take it or leave it.

Hi,
Again, W7 64 bit, Outlook 2007 and an HP Pavilion.
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)
