this is what I had to do in order to get something selected from web page to copy..
You need to go into the Jaws settings for IE, and go to the virtual cursor options, and choose select and copy from virtual cursor. ----- Original Message ----- From: "LeDon" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, October 16, 2014 9:56 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Something else being selected I don't know if this will solve your problem. It may not, but you might try this: To Select a block of text. 1. put your focus in front of where you want to copy and press control windows k. This will put a temporary place marker at that place. 2. then go to the end of where you want to copy and press a cap lock space bar and press m. 3. Then press ctrl C to copy the selected text. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Alana Jovanovski Sent: Wednesday, October 15, 2014 8:50 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Something else being selected Hi Mike, This did not work.

For those members in Australia, it is from the Griffith university website. I have routed the cursors, but no luck.
