Dear Jonathan,
Does this selection technique work in text environment such as Pages? Kindly let me know. Hem. From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Jonathan Cohn Sent: 31 August 2019 06:46 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Copying text from a web site You can sorta do this if the text is in a block, but if there is graphics or tables or even perhaps font changes I find the below method does not work. 1. Go to starting text and interact until it says interacting with text. 2. Press VO-return. VO says start selecting. 3. Move to where you want to end the selection while moving VO will make a dragging type of sound. and press vo-return again. VO should say stop selecting. Now perform what ever actions you need on the selection. The good thing about this, is if you somehow break the selection, the sound will stop.

Working in windows with jaws, I can copy text from a web page following these steps: First, I define a marker, which would be the initial point, and then I go through the text body just until the point where I want to drag the selection, and I press a keystroke which performs the action described as select the text between mark place and current position of the cursor." Can this be done somehow with voice over? If someone had information about it, it would be great! Best, Leo. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
