Hello Andrew, One thing you can do is to select and copy information from a web site as text only. This use to be the default in earlier versions of JAWS. When on a web page bring up JAWS verbosity with Insert_V and use down arrow to move to the "virtual cursor settings choice." Expand the group if it is closed by using right arrow. Use down arrow to move to the choice "select and copy full content using on screen highlight." Press the spacebar until JAWS says "select and copy using virtual cursor" and then press the enter key. When you select the information and copy or append it to the clipboard, the formatting and HTML element information won't be included.
Take care.
