No rod, no questions here. Looks like I got this one figured out a while
ago. As I say, I really like this selection arrangement. With a bit of
adjustment regarding a matter mentioned in a previous post by the guys
at AI Squared, it would almost be perfect.

Sorry, just forgot to mention the brows factor. I guess I just assumed
that was a given, but that's what I get for assuming <smile>.
Thanks,

You're correct, Larry. The only thing I would add is that you can move
to the beginning and end of the text you want to select using any
browse mode method, ie. Home to beginning of line, End to end of line,
Control-Home, Control-End, and any other browse mode hot keys. This is
because F8 is only applicable while within browse mode; nowhere else.
And this is where it can get confusing.
Let's say you're on a web page. F8 is the only selection method while
in browse mode. Then you exit browse mode and enter an edit box.
You're no longer in browse mode and F8 does not apply. Standard
Shifted key selection must be used here. The same goes for reading and
replying to email messages, assuming your email client displays
messages in browse mode.
Hth,
Tom

Just a slight correction, or maybe a clarification.
You need to locate the first character you wish to select, then press
F8, then arrow to the last character you wish to select, then press F8
again, and then you will be presented with your options from which to
choose.
One thing you might also remember, that if you should use the ctrl key
to select by word, that you will need to select the last word one letter
at a time. If this isn't actually true, someone please let me know, but
this little quirk had me confused for a while until either I figured it
out, or came to just accept the inconvenient of it all.
On the whole I've really come to like the F8 arrangement, because you
can select from between headers in Web pages, or much of the time in my
case, Bookshare DAISY books, and not have to worry about losing any of
the text by pressing either header keys or tabs. It just works so
beautifully so far.

Jed. Ok. Use the arrow keys to find the beginning of the text you
want to
select. Press the right arrow key until you come to the end of the
text you
want to select. Now press the f8 key. You will be presented with
three
choices. The first choice is copy plain text, and the other choices
are
copy text with formatting, and the third choice is to reset selected
text or
something like that. Once you pick the plain text button, and if
that is
the selection you want, press the enter key. Then you'll have to find
the
document in which you want to paste the selected text. Press the
ctrl-v key
combo. I hope I didn't leave anything out, smile. If I did, feel
free to
jump in here, smile.
