Gary, For whatever reason jaws does not start reading the document after it is 
selected, I know that is the way it is supposed to be but it is not what 
happens.  Thanks!

  Hi Judith,

  You don't need to be concerned with scripts.  Control+a in MS Word and other 
Windows programs selects the entire document.  Since the document is then 
highlighted, JAWS will begin to read it.  Press Control to stop speech, and 
then perform whatever operation you wish to do on the document.  The document 
will stay selected until you press any of the cursoring keys.

    Is there a keystroke that would announce when someone selects an entire 
document?  Thanks, Judith
