Hi Dave, I am an avid user of Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10. I'm using it now. Here are the voice commands that I would use to copy a block of information from a website and paste it into a document:
1. Go to the webpage you want and use the MouseGrid commands to place the cursor at the beginning of the text you wish to copy. 2. Say "mouse mark". It won't look like anything happened, but NaturallySpeaking now knows its starting point. 3. Use the MouseGrid commands to place the cursor at the end of the text you wish to copy. 4. Say "mouse drag". This will highlight all the desired text. 5. Say "copy that". 6. Switch to the document you wish to paste your copied text into and say "paste that". There may be an easier way, but this works for me. Let me know if you have any follow-up questions. As for quality of life issues and supporting organizations, I concur with Wheelchair on checking first with any local Center for Independent Living. No need to reinvent the wheel if a really good wheel is available to you.
