yes. That is the only way (in Outlook Express) because the virtual cursor is otherwise not active there. In Internet Explorer and/or in PDF documents, however, it is always or potentially active.

Take care.

In fact, when I forward a message in OE and arrow down and press control shift home to get rid of all the junk I don't want to pass on, I can no longer do this. I am using JAWS 10. Doing this in adobe is absolutely such a nightmare that I can no longer use Jaws as my primary screen reader. What I have noticed is that the select, copy, and paste functions in all the areas you mentioned are getting progressively worse ever since version 6. Yes, I have spoken to tech support several times. Take-care, Deb. ----- Original Message ----- >From: "Victor" <[email protected]> To: "Jaws Users List" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, February 15, 2009 10:42 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Also Having Problems Selecting,Copying and Pasting Text Hi Folks, Like that other person who was having trouble, quite often, in fact, this happens all the time, when I go to copy text from a web page into a document, notepad, WordPad or e-mail, I get some kind of code instead of the text I've highlighted, copied and pasted. This is getting fairly troublesome, as I often do this type of copying and pasting to help friends with problems they may have, and where I find a relevant bit of text on the net that can help them. I'm using Jaws 10, latest build, Windows XP, Word 2003 and Outlook Express 6. As far as I know, all of my settings are configured properly with the configuration manager under highlighting options, and so I'm at a loss to understand why this is. I also have a problem where I am composing an e-mail, and, when I press the down arrow in combination with the shift key to select the text, the line will select, however, half of the words seem to be selected, as opposed to the word. I mean it's like that function, called smart highlighting or something like that, is turned off. I've also come across a time or two, where I want to highlight a few words in an e-mail message, whether reading to copy to another message, or just composing the message for copying and pasting to a spot further down in the message, or what ever, where, instead of the whole word being selected only, the entire word is selected, right along with half, or a few letters of the next word. Can anyone help me with this. Sorry for the long message, but I wasn't sure if those two things below were significant or not. Thanks all.
