Is that a new feature? I seem to remember highlighting bits of Web pages for years as part of the copy function when lifting passages or other information to move into another document or e-mail message. Maybe since Jaws 2.0 .
I had never thought of it as a way to attract attention to my location for sighted folk but will in future.
