Go into quick settings with JAWS key+v, then arrow down to "Select and copy from full screen." Then press spacebar to switch to " from virtual cursor." Tab to okay. The default is to display a webpage more or less as it appears on the screen. The "virtual cursor" gives JAWS greater precision so that when you select text, it selects the text you intend.

Civitello Sent: Friday, January 12, 2018 11:47 AM To: Jaws users list Subject: [JAWS-Users] copying text from a Web page At times when I try to select and copy text from a Web site to the clip board it will not work. When I try to paste into a document there is nothing there. It seems as though some Web sites will not permit copying. Is there anyway around this?
