Hi tim and All, There is a lot of advantage in pasting text in to a program that supports the formatting. I don't want to hear all the formatting details when in certain documents .... so pasting text makes it lots easier to read and work with. I then take those notes that I read and turn them in to a notes / rss podcast feed ... the formatting crashes rss feeds.
Why are you guys fighting so hard to defend rejecting the windows standards and create a proprietary cut and paste? There are several issues here: 1. f8 verses shift-arrows and standard copy, paste. 2. Weather we support formatted and unformatted text or not. Rather than trying to make the software support all of our needs and keeping things we already had and supporting windows standards we ar arguing as if people don't need those things, and weather or not one way is better or not. I for one am not interested in this argument. All of us are just trying to find the best ways to keep jobs and work well with the things we need.

If you paste the selected text in to a text editor you will just paste the text. If you paste it in to a program that supports the formatting you will get the formatting. What would be the advantage of pasting the text in to a program that supports the formatting without the formatting? -----Original Message----- From: Sam Bushman [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, November 26, 2014 8:02 AM To: 'Chris Skarstad'; [email protected] Subject: RE: Selecting text on a web page No matter how we do it we need an option to get text only.

I think we should be given the choice to do either method, as I can actually see times where the f8-f8 method could be useful, just not all the time ya know? let me please encourage the ai squared guys to add the standard text selection method back in. It's gotten to the point now where i have to switch to another screenreader just so I can select a few bits of text, and then switch back to WE 9. The older way really was faster for me. After all, regular sighted users don't select text in that manner.
