For selecting a 'real' page or more pages, there is no good way on the 
keyboard in MS Word apart from extended select.  F8, then Ctrl-g and 
then input your desired page number, and ok it;  then press 
ctrl+page-down once or the number of times needed to select the number 
of pages you want.

Hi,
Although extended select has been recommended, I'm not a real big fan of 
using extended select, especially if JAWS is acting funky.  So, if I 
want to select and delete a paragraph, I'll go to the beginning of the 
paragraph, do a shift+ctrl+down arrow, verify that the entire paragraph 
was selected, then press delete.  Works great.

I haven't figured out how to select entire pages, though.

Tom

  Hi all,

  I have a sort of dumb question, but I had someone ask me about how to 
delete paragraphs and pages from a word document.  Well, I have never 
really done it the right way for myself because I go to a certain place 
in a document and then copy that to the clipboard.  Then I open a new 
document and paste that portion in there and then keep repeating the 
process with copying to the clipboard and pasting in a new document 
until I have the precise document I want.  It is cumbersome, but I have 
not really known how to do it so that you can hear the screen reader 
speak what you are highlighting so you can delete it.  So if someone can 
tell me the right way to explain to someone how to delete paragraphs and 
pages I would really appreciate it.  Thanks so much.

  Lisa
