Yeah, gee that's right it was an edit field we're talking about. I
think the problem was being in the edit field and trying to copy the
text.

You don't need to interact with the text if it's in an edit field.
Just do command a, then command c and then paste it wherever.
However, if you're selecting regular content from a page and you don't
want all of it but just some, you need to interact with it with vo
down arrow, then vo enter. Use the vo and the right arrow key to
select. Then vo enter and it'll say stop sellecting. Then do command
c to copy and vo up arrow to stop interacting with the text and then
you could paste it wherever. The only annoying thing is that it
selects in chunks rather than letting you continue selecting as
Windows does. When you return to the page to select more text, it
brings you back to where you started. I found that turning off cursor
tracking with vo-shift-f3 lets you resume your place more easily.
Just remember to turn it back on, using the same keys, when you've
finished everything or the buttons won't work properly. Sorry if that
was slightly offtopic but I figured it's better to explain that now
incase you get stuck later.

I am trying to figure out how to copy text from a web site to paste
into
safari. Basicly, i had an edit field on the page, which had text
in it. I
just needed to actually copy the content of what was in that edit
field. I
interacted with the text edit field, but then when I do command+A,
it seems
to select all on the whole web page. Also, when I click in the
text box: I
say click, as I do not use cursor tracking when in Safari, I
figured it
already had all highlighted and selected in that box, but when I hit
command+C, then went over to mail, to paste it into the body of an
e-mail
message, it wound up pasting the entire content of that web site I
was on,
rather than pasting just! what was in that edit text area.
Remember: Yes,
I did interact with the text area first, like I said.
So, what exactly am I doowen wrong?
Chris.
