Hi Rick, Well, you've alerted me to something I hadn't considered, namely, that the text actually changes appearance. Having no vision, I wouldn't have known, and, given the lack of documentation by AI Squared, it does not seem to be something worth mentioning. My guess is that the initial F8 press is placing a marker in the HTML text, and, in normal circumstances, does not change the appearance of the text onscreen. Perhaps your application is altering the appearance of the text, and not WE?

I was under the impression that this was specific to browsers. The old method of copying using the shift and arrow keys works just fine in programs like Word, Notepad, etc. In fact, when I hit F8 in the XML Copy program, it brings up a dialog for that program rather than starting a copy operation. The problem that I am describing is not that the method for selecting text using shift and arrow keys does not work. It does. What I am complaining about is the fact that the text, as it is being selected, is not spoken. When slecting text in Word, Notepad, etc. using the shift and arrow keys, text is spoken as it is slected or unselected, along with the word selected or unselected. With XML Copy, there is only silence. The text is actually being selected (and with my limited vision, I see it highlighted) and then control C works to select it. The question is: Is this a problem with WE or is this just a poor or non-standard implementation within the XML Copy program?

Note also that, for now, within Mozilla products like Firefox and Thunderbird, Control-C is also required after pressing Enter on the Copy button. Hth, Rod -----Original Message----- From: Rick Blair [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, January 05, 2015 9:13 AM To: [email protected] Subject: WE Beta 3 - Selecting text in XML Copy I am using the free program XML Copy to edit XML and XML Schema files. When selecting text (using the shift and arrow keys) the text being selected is not spoken. This makes it difficult to select text. I know the text is being selected since I have some vision and copy does work. System details: Windows 7 Pro, 64-bit ZoomText 10.0x WE Beta 3 (same in Beta 2) If this is a problem with the actual program, does anyone know of a better smart XML editor?
