hi
No, because until Flor mentioned it, I didn't actually know it existed.
just as a foot note, I have played about with that setting and now looks
like I am able to copy items properly again. So thanks for suggesting that.
But, it also could have been a fault with my drive, as I had other issues
with crashing programs, mainly jaws.
Thanks though, your help is much appreciated.
Elaine

Elaine- Is it possible that when re-installing 9, you had forgotten by
then
that after initially installing JAWS9 and before reformatting you had
changed the default virtual cursor setting to 'from virtual cursor'? That
change only began with version 9 and it would be easy to not have noticed
or
to forget that you had changed it.

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.

Hi Victor and list:
Sorry that I can't help, but I am having these same exact problems. 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.

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.
Victor
