Cris,
The Shift+F8 key combination allows you to make multiple selections with the Spacebar in a multiple-selection list box, not a combo box. Once the selections are made, Shift+F8 takes you out of multiple-selection mode. I found this information in the Index page of JAWS Help with the key words multiple-selection.

Subject: selecting multiple items from within a combo box?


Hello list,

Hopefully someone can refresh my memory as I've forgotten the key stroke to do this. I want to select multiple items from within a combo box. I think it involved the f8 and shift key or something along those lines, but it's been
so long that I've had to do it, that I can't recall now.
