Hi Don & Madison, Thank you very much for your input but, I am trying to explain to a sighted computer abuser how to select text / files using a mouse. Not ever having using a mouse, I wanted to make sure to use the correct terminology. You know, like, Hold down a control key & arrow down.
2. On each file you would like to select press your left mouse click 1 time, to highlight it. I think y'all get the right idea. I know the keystrokes to do this with Jaws but, I want to make sure I explain keystrokes into correct mouse clicks. i.e. Correctly saying which mouse click, left / right or, Single mouse click / Double mouse click. I think that I have the general idea but, just want to make sure, you know, some reassurance! Thanks again, take care.

It is just like copying or cutting text in a word processor such as Microsoft Word. ----- Original Message ----- From: "dgcnc" <dg...@bellsouth.net> To: <blind-computing@jaws-users.com> Sent: Thursday, March 08, 2012 4:24 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing]SelectingContinuous&Non-ContinuousFilesUsingAMouse > Awesome!
