Benjamin: I don't think you read before responding to this post. We're talking about the ability to copy something like an article or collumn of text without having to do select-all and chop later. I think Geoff is saying the method of Vo-Shift-Return to set start and stop selecting wasn't working well for him. I have the same ecxperience when attempting to select and copy text.
