This can be a bit tricky, admitedly, the windows screen readers probably handle this a bit better. Interact with the text you want to select, then press control option enter to start selecting. Now move the voiceover cursor to the end of the text you want to select, then press control option enter again. You can press control option F6 to read the text you have selected. At this point, command c will copy the selected text. On Mar 22, 2011, at 6:15 PM, Christine Grassman wrote:
