Which arrow keys are you using? I know to read by sentence, the correct arrow keys are those on the numpad. Thus, alt+numpad-2 will read the next sentence, while alt+numpad-8 reads the previous sentence. Alt+numpad5 reads the current sentence. However, since I rarely use word, I haven't confirmed that adding the shift key to this combination will select for purposes of copying. -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Michael Arnowitt Sent: Monday, September 20, 2010 11:04 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: selecting a sentence in Word Using Word 2007, is there any keystroke way to select an entire sentence? I know how to select a word or a paragraph, but am stumped as to how to select a sentence. My Jaws teacher thought it might be alt + shift + down arrow, but for me both that and ctrl + shift + down arrow selects the whole paragraph. There must be some way quicker than ctrl + shift + left or right arrowing one word at a time until I get to the end of the sentence.
