Hi, another way you may want to copy text. I just learned this recently from this list is the last thrase copied to the clipboard. You do this by holding down the VO keys adding shift to the combo and finally hitting the letter C and it will copy what was last spoken.
So say Voiceover read a paragraph with the Safari, and you liked what you heard, you could use this command to hopefully copy what's already been said and paste where ever it needs to go. While I'm sure its not the best method to go about copying text from web pages, its a pretty handy command to have in your tool kit. Like I said, I didn't even know it existed until recently on the Mac. I knew it was on IOS but I'm glad to know that it is present on the Mac too. So give it a shot. I can see it being handy for things like: phone numbers, addresses etc. Good luck with getting your text for your class this coming Monday.
