This method of copping text from a website doesn't work for me. Try this, go to the Bard site pick out a book and then try to copy the description of the book. It doesn't seem to copy, instead what you will have copied is the number of books that are listed on the page or something like that. In any event you will not have copied the description of the book you were trying to copy. You cannot copy the description using ctrl shift right arrow to select it one word at a time and then ctrl C to copy the selected text. Neither can you place a marker at the title which is the first of the description you want to copy and then placing an m at the end of the description to complete the block to be copied and then pressing ctrl C to copy it. Try it it doesn't work.

In step 2, here you're selecting, not copying, text. It's important because you can do other things with selected text besides copying. In step 4, I believe the "append to clipboard" command, a JAWS function, is JAWS key+Windows key+c. As you know, control-v is MS's paste command. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Steve Sent: Thursday, November 16, 2017 11:37 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] clipboard and Google Chrome Doesn't setting a temporary placemarker method work for you, Terry? 1. Go to the top (or bottom) of the text you want to copy, and set a temp placemarker with windows-control-k. 2. Go to the end of the text you want to copy and press the dual-layer keystroke insert-space then the letter M to copy between the placemarker and the marked point where your virtual cursor is located. 3. Press Control-C to copy to the clipboard. 4. If you want to append additional stuff to the clipboard, do the same thing as above, except instead of copying the marked selection to the clipboard control-C, use control-V instead.
