Hi,
well if you red the question that started this thread, you'll notice
that basically your question and my question are the same. Though I
wanted to copy text from a web page, you want to copy from a text
editor; in addition, as far as we've been told, there is no way to place
two marks in a text and automatically select the text between them.
Since this is the basic concept behind the function that we are looking
for, this probably cannot be done on Mac, neither on a text editor nor
on a web page.
Best,
Leo.

Hi Leo,
Thanks for the clarification.
What should I do if I need to select long passages after placing a
selection beginning mark. On the windows front, I tend to keep reading
until a spot where I need to end selection. Is there a way to place
sweet spots and make a text selection between them? I will be grateful
for an answer.
Take care,
Hem.

Hi, I'm not Jonathan, but the answer to your question is yes, it
works. Just make sure after pressing vo-return, not to stop pressing
vo, then you can errow to select as much as you want.
Best,
Leo.

Pages? Kindly let me know.

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.
Best wishes,
Jonathan Cohn

Hello everyone,
I wonder whether what I want to do on my mac can be done or not.
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.
