Thanks. As mentioned, I figured problem was between keyboard and chair. I thought I had the tracking set right. Let me try later today and see if I can duplicate.

Main thing was to be sure cursor tracking was turned on with control-option-shift-F3. I then went to your page: http://winit.womansworldmag.com/enter/drawing/4a606b5463a666f91cfc0aa8a80e30 5f0828351b and found the text starting with "Pandora's Charm...". From there I then just did a dhift-down arrow until I selected the whole paragraph, including the link. Then I hit command-c to copy and was able to go to another app and paste it all. Until I turned on cursor tracking I wasn't able to make it go. Used this Apple help page which described the process and different ways to select the text: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=VoiceOver/1.0/en/mh2089.html CB On 1/17/12 8:34 AM, Bill Holton wrote: > The bits are larger than one phrase or bit.
