[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?

I'm finding that the F8 keystroke works after all, but only so long as my PC was only recently restarted.

Thanks, Justin. You confirm what I just discovered.

Re: [JAWS-Users] How to select a sentence in Word 2016 while using JAWS
Hi Adrian, I guess you could always go old school keystrokes. 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.

Re: [JAWS-Users] How to select a sentence in Word 2016 while using JAWS
Hi JM, Yes, it is a Windows / Office command, & it's called, Extended Selection Mode, at least that's what it's called in Office Word 2010. You press the F8 key to toggle through the various options, pressing enter on the 1 you want. If it doesn't speak you won't know which option to press enter on, unless you've got the key presses memorized, & know which 1 to press enter on. Someone that has had this command fail would have to explain what happens when it fails / quits working. I always select text with keystrokes, & rarely use the F keys options, so I've never had it fail for me. Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool.

Re: [JAWS-Users] How to select a sentence in Word 2016 while using JAWS
I see the confusion. Unlike in Word 2010, JAWS never speaks the "select word," "Select sentence," etc. commands as you cycle through the F8 options while in Word 2016, at least on my system. Yes, it's a Word command. However, after I've been up and running for a while, the commands stop functioning. I'm assuming the problem lies with the interaction between Word 2016 and JAWS, but I could be wrong. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of JM Casey Sent: Tuesday, February 27, 2018 4:31 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] How to select a sentence in Word 2016 while using JAWS Hm.

Unlike in Word 2010, JAWS never speaks the "select word," "Select sentence," etc. commands as you cycle through the F8 options while in Word 2016, at least on my system. Yes, it's a Word command. However, after I've been up and running for a while, the commands stop functioning. I'm assuming the problem lies with the interaction between Word 2016 and JAWS, but I could be wrong. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of JM Casey Sent: Tuesday, February 27, 2018 4:31 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] How to select a sentence in Word 2016 while using JAWS Hm.

Hello Adrian, If you use the CTRL and simulated left mouse click you need to first route the JAWS cursor to the PC cursor. 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.

Re: [JAWS-Users] How to select a sentence in Word 2016 while using JAWS
Hello All, Something that I have tried in the past but has only recently worked is to select multiple sentences by first pressing F8 to get into selection mode, then using the JAWS command to move by sentence (JAWS Key+Down Arrow). The only real issue is that every time you add a new sentence to select, JAWS reads from the beginning of the first selected sentence through the sentences just added. Still, it is convenient if there is a need to select multiple consecutive sentences.

Mauricio, thanks for this great idea. I just tested it, and it works on my system. Note that normally, I press F8 three times to get to the "Select sentence" option. However, using your method, I press it only once, then press control+down arrow as many times as I have consecutive sentences I want to select.

Re: [JAWS-Users] How to select a sentence in Word 2016 while using JAWS
This works, but it involves more moving around. With the F8 method, you simply place focus inside the sentence. Your method works very nicely for longer blocks of text. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Roger Newell Sent: Wednesday, February 28, 2018 12:09 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] How to select a sentence in Word 2016 while using JAWS Everyone seems to have their own methods for selecting sentences.
