I have used the JAWS History feature to copy text right from the History window. I clear my Jaws history with Space bar/Insert, then Shift/H Then I read over the text I would like to copy and then pull up the JAWS history window with Space bar/insert and then H, you will be in the JAWS history window then and you will find the text that you just read on the webpage, now you can copy and paste it.

Good morning all! Using the latest version of JAWS 18, (Build 2945), I'm encountering an issue when trying to copy text from a web page into a word document. I am able to highlight the text, but unable to copy and paste it to my document. When I press Control C, JAWS says nothing, indicating that nothing has been copied. This is confirmed, when I go to my document and press Control plus V. The text that I selected does not copy to my document. A sighted user can copy and paste the text without any problems. Why is this happening?
