Hi, When selecting text on a web-page, you need to use the VO selection command.
1. Interact with the text. 2. Press VO-return. 3. Navigate to the end of the area you wish to select. 4. Press VO-return again to toggle off the selection. 5. Press cmd-c to Copy to the clipboard. This is cumbersome in some cases as some text areas have link elements and such which divide up your ability to select. In these cases, I usually just do a select all and paste it into a txt page in TextEdit and grab my desired text from there. Later...
