I'm not blind so not sure how to say this as I don't use JAWS but have you 
tried muting the tracks you don't want first?

Another thought is to take your selection and make it a .wav file or MP3 file 
then bring that file into your program using new.

  Hi everyone,

  I'm a pretty new Audacity user, and I'm guessing this is a simple thing to 
do, but after spending a couple of hours over several different days working 
through the Audacity For JAWS Users guide and thinking I understand how to do 
the following, I'm reaching out for help because I'm not accomplishing what I 
want to do:

  Using the Audacity 1.3.3 Beta, I've loaded in an MP3 track that I created 
from a stereo cassette and I want to divide it into several smaller tracks.  I 
can get as far as doing the selection, and can verify reading the edit spin 
boxes in the track selection toolbar that I have the particular piece I want 
selected, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to take that piece and 
create a separate track with just that piece.  I tried opening a new stereo 
track, but when I try pasting into this new track it doesn't seem to get there 
because when I try to play the new track it sounds like I have what's on the 
original one.  Can someone either help or at least point me in the right 
direction?

  Thanks so much in advance for any help,
  Pete De Vasto
