They are running on two different Macs under VM Fusion Windows. That's not supposed to be an issue, but it is the only commonality. -----Original Message----- From: net bat [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, December 16, 2014 4:15 PM To: Bill Holton Subject: Re: Cannot copy text from web page have you tried this as a experiment? will the windows commands work without w e running? with nvda or narrator? -----Original Message----- From: Bill Holton Sent: Tuesday, December 16, 2014 12:42 PM To: 'net bat' Subject: RE: Cannot copy text from web page The reason I tried the F8 commands is that since the new gbetas I have not been a bler to get Windows copy commands to work using Window 7. No text speaks as I try to highlight it, and if I hold down the shift key, move down a few lines, then press CTRL-C, there is nothing added to the clipgboard. I figured the Windows copy commands had been disabled with the new web abilities. So I must be doing something else wrong. Using the latest beta and IE 11 and the latest Firefox. Any suggestions appreciated. -----Original Message----- From: net bat [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, December 16, 2014 1:40 PM To: Bill Holton Subject: Re: Cannot copy text from web page why bother with f8 when windows commands can do the same thing. and is more reliable? you have both options. if you don't care about formatting use windows commands. arrow to the beginning of the address and hold down the shift key and arrow to the end of the address. this will highlight the text. then press control c to copy to clipboard, alt tab to the program you are useing like notepad,word etc. and press control v to paste the text into the document. sometimes i just highlight the whole web page, paste it into notepad then i can delete what i don't want to keep. like a list of recipes. i will copy the whole page and delete everything but the recipes. -----Original Message----- From: Bill Holton Sent: Tuesday, December 16, 2014 8:21 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Cannot copy text from web page Hi. No matter what I try, I cannot seem to copy the mailing address from the LOC web page http://www.loc.gov/nls/contact.html I have tried marking the block from the National Library Service to the DC zip code from the top, the bottom, going by word, line, etc. All I get is the final line.
