Thanks, Brian. This makes complete sense, and I'll use it the next time F8 fails me.

It does work for me in Word 2013. Before you can do the action following the selection you need to put PC cursor back on. Take care.

Selecting from the beginning of the line to the end: Shift + End / 1 on the NumPad. Selecting more than 1 line of text, if the sentence is more than 1 line: Hold the Shift key down while arrowing up or down until you have selected/highlighted the lines you want. Take care.

I guess it means more frequent rebooting. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Adrian Spratt Sent: Tuesday, February 27, 2018 10:04 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] How to select a sentence in Word 2016 while using JAWS Hi. Using Word 2010, I became dependent on the F8 key to select a sentence. It doesn't work in 2016. At Google, I find a control-mouse click instruction, but using the JAWS simulated mouse, it doesn't work. Has anyone found an alternative keyboard command buried in Word 2016 for this operation?
