Thank you, I didn't realize Shift was better than ctrl in this case.
I kept trying to use ctrl down arrow and it wasn't working. But now everything
should be awesome,
Thank you

Brandon,
Combining the shift key with several navigation keys enables you to select
larger blocks of text. John Martyn mentioned the shift and down arrow to select
a line. Just make sure focus is at the beginning of the line you want to copy.
You can also select a line with shift plus up arrow. Here, place focus at the
beginning of the next line.
Shift plus pageup or pagedown selects a larger block of text, although the
result on a webpage is random. What I often do is press shift+pagedown, then
continue with the shift+down arrow until an entire article (for example) is
selected.
Shift plus control plus end key selects from the point of focus to the bottom
of the webpage. Substituting the home key for the end key selects from focus to
the top of the webpage.
Of course, control-a (without the shift key) selects the entire webpage.
I believe the shakiness you describe indicates a page that is constantly
refreshing. somewhere in the "adjust JAWS options" dialog or the JAWS 12
equivalent, there is a fix that you might want to apply to specific pages. I
don't have the time just now to look for it, and anyway, I'm using JAWS 11 and
you're probably using JAWS 12.

Subject: selecting on a web-page?
Hello,
two things:
first, is there a way to select fast on a web page, more than just by word? it
takes a really long time to copy articles or stories I want to keep...
Second, Does anyone know if there's a way to stop the shaking of WebPages when
I'm selecting them? Having something shake super fast like that makes me sick,
so I'd rather not have to tern off my screen each time I'm selecting on a
web-page...
Here's A page with both problems.

I'm using Jaws 11 with Windows Vista.
Thanks,
Brandon Keith
