I'm so sorry, no it's the same. I typed "p" by accident each time. I'm using 2016.
CTRL alt v as in victor, not p as in Paul to the original inquiry...

Is it different in Word 2016, which I think you use? Kelby, I'm sorry my post was so short, but I was rushing. This ought to work for you. As Kimsan explained, go into JAWS quick settings with JAWS key+v and locate "virtual cursor options," which you did. Now, arrow down to "Select and copy..." It seems your setting is the default, "from virtual cursor." tab once to land in an explanation of this setting and what your options are. You may need to switch to the JAWS cursor to read this text. Then return to the PC cursor and shift-tab back into the choice field. In JAWS quick settings, you rotate through the options by pressing the spacebar. In this case, there are only two: virtual cursor or "full content using screen highlight." It's this latter setting that you want. At this point, you can simply save the setting by pressing escape, as I just confirmed. I think you'll find this setting is a very mixed blessing. For most purposes, I've gone back to the virtual cursor option. But only experience will show you which works best and in which situations. I've found Kimsan's alternative solution, control-alt-p or control-alt-v, works best for me. It doesn't involve going in and out of JAWS quick settings and finding the "copy and select" option every time. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kimsan Sent: Wednesday, July 20, 2016 11:07 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Selecting Text in Firefox Did you try exiting and returning to ff and performing the pasting action again? You can also press CTRL alt p if pasting into word where you can select the option to paste as unformatted text. I just tried both suggestions and all was well. I hope you get it working.
