Hi, Deb,

The beauty of control h is highlight  will remain on until you turn it off.
That means, you don't have to worry about whether the text you want is
"selected" or not.  And you can read the text while you use any of the
commands I mentioned to locate the beginning and end of the text.  The
commands which you can use are: arrow keys, control home, control end, go to
page, line, column.  The commands you CANNOT use are: search, cursor routing
buttons on braille displays and any commands issued from the braille display
instead of the PC keyboard.  If you use any of these commands, the highlight
will turn itself off.  (Boy, I wish you COULD use the search feature!).  And
any time you doubt if highlight is turned on, just go to the edit menu and
arrow down to the highlight menu item.  If it's, checked, highlight is on
and if it's unchecked, highlight is off.

I hope this helps.
