Also, if there is a unique sign or character demarcating the end of the
chapter or the beginning of the next one, by pressing F8 and then
pressing the keystroke for that sign, from your cursor position down to
that point is selected. You may need to do a bit of switching with the
F8 key (and shift+F8 to reduce, if you've selected to much) to see if it
works.

I know how all the basic select commands work. I am asking for
something different, which I think has been provided. I want to know
quite specifically how to highlight a PORTION OF TEXT in a document
that is not a line, word, or paragraph so that cannot; select with the
normal commands. (Let's assume the section is in the middle of the
document, so select-to-end and select-to-beginning are not efficient
ways of ding this.) Does that make things clearer?

Can you use the control a to select all?

This actually was not what I am asking. Let us say I need to
copy a chapter from a textbook that is several pages long. How
can I do this, other than going paragraph by paragraph and
appending? I know sighted people can do this, and I can do it
quite easily with a notetaker.

Hi Kelby,
Try the information below to see if this will do what you are
wanting to
accomplish.
The F8 key in Word is a Toggle. You press the F8 key a different
number of
times to select different amounts of text.
Pressing the F8 key 1 time turns extended selection mode on. In
this mode
you can arrow up or down to select text line by line.
Pressing the F8 key 2 times will copy the highlighted word.
Pressing the F8 key 3 times will copy the sentence the cursor is
in.
Pressing the F8 key 4 times will copy the paragraph the cursor is
in.
Pressing the F8 key 5 times will copy the document.
Hope this has helped. Take care.
Mike

Brief question from a first-timer. Is there a way to block
text--as in multiple paragraphs--for selection in a document
with
JAWS? Like highlighting a certain section of thedocument that
is
not just a line, word or paragraph for copying and/or cutting?
