And I think that the point needs to be made. Control C, Control X, and Control V for copy, cut and paste are windows commands, not Jaws commands. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Elaine" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, February 19, 2009 1:44 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Also Having Problems Selecting,Copying and Pasting Text
hi I've had problems with copy, cut and paste ever since I formatted my pc and re installed jaws 9. I never had this problem before then. I cant understand it as jaws appears so different since a re installing to a new drive. Technically, all that has changed is the drive, not jaws nor windows. Very weird.
