[nfb-talk] email, highlighting, and languages

[Mike Freeman]

Anna:

Why are you highlighting noncontiguous blocks of text, i.e., what are you
trying to do? If you're trying to copy noncontiguous blocks of text, you
could select the first block of text, copy it to the clipboard, then select
the next block of text and use JAWS's Append to Clipboard (JAWS Key +
windows Key + C) to append that text to the clipboard.

If you are actually looking at a list of items, you can move thru the list
with Control+Down-arrow, hitting the spacebar on items you wish to select.

Subject: [nfb-talk] email, highlighting, and languages

I have three separate questions. I need to know how to highlight
non-consecutive lines of text without using a mouse.  I know how to
highlight, but when you need to skip lines of text I don't know how.
I also would like to know why when I am writing an email in my g-mail
account using firefox JAWS reads it differently then when I do it in
IE. Instead of just reading through the text I have written, it
announces "misspelled" everytime it there is a word that is mispelled.
I happen to find that very annoying, I just want it to read through it
misspellings and all. But it doesn't do that in IE.  I want to use
firefox though.  Thoughts??? Suggestions??
Last question is kind of broad: How do you study Spanish as a blind
person.  I am coming up on a Spanish class and would greatly
appreciate any advice I can get. I use JAWS and have a Braille Sense
as well. I also have an IPhone with VO, and a stream.
I would love to hear from people who have done this, and how did you do it.

Thanks as always,
Anna E Givens
