This problem is easily corrected. With Jaws 9 or later, when you copy something from the web, the default is that all formatting from the original web page is retained. Depending on what you paste the selected text into, this may cause a problem. To change this, you need to open the Jaws verbosity options tree view while in your web browser and change the select and copy option. To accomplish this, do the following:
1. Open your web browser. 2. Press the Jaws key plus V to open the new tree view for Jaws options. 3. Press the down arrow key to find the option for select and copy. This is found under the virtual cursor options. You should have to press the down arrow key three or four times to find this option. 4. When you find the select and copy option, you can press the tab key to move to the help window. Use the say all command to read the help information for the select and copy option. 5. Use the shift tab key to move back to the tree view. Press the space bar to change the options for the select and copy option. To make the option work the way it did in earlier versions of Jaws, select the "from virtual cursor" option. This will copy only the text you select and not the format of the text you select. 6. Close the Jaws verbosity options window. This change is permanent and remains in effect even if you shutdown Jaws or your computer. The full content option is the default in Jaws 9 - this is what retains all formatting when copying text from a web page.

I've found in the past 2 months that sometimes when I copy stuff from the internet and paste it into either Word 2003 or Outlook 2003 I'm having the same problem as you. I cannot figure out how to remove the cells, tables, etc. Annette -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris Feist Sent: Tuesday, September 09, 2008 6:02 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Blind-Computing] Copying only the text to Word 2007 from the Web Hi. Here's my latest issue. When I copy and paste from a Web Paige to MS word 2007, it seems to copy more than just the text. I mean it copies all the attributes including if it's in tables and columns which I can't figure out how to remove. I didn't have this happen in Word 2003 (that I could tell, at least). I suppose that what I'm getting at is can I copy and paste from the web into Word 2007 and not carry over different fonts, if it's a link, cells and tables, etc? I apologize for my lack of clarity. I really don't understand why Word 2007 is different in this regard compared to 2003. I just want to be able to copy text and then manipulate it as necessary afterwards. As it is now, it's almost impossible for me to edit what I copy to Word for some reason. Using vista here. Thanks. Chris Feist - The one and only!
