Re: Edit boxes in Firefox and Internet Explorer

That would work, but it is a lot of unnecessary work, and you shouldn't have 
to do it.

I agree, things should have worked differently. I have seen this kind of
behavior once in a while. One workaround is as follows.


1. Go to the Edit Box, and turn off the Browse Mode.

2. Mark all the text, and copy it to the clipboard.

3. Hit Ctrl-A, then Del, to delete the text from the editbox.

4. Open things like Notepad, and paste in your copied text.

5. Do your editting, and then copy all back to the clipboard.

6. Go back to the Editbox, with browse mode still turned off, and paste
in your etxt.


Like I said, it is a workaround - though a rather long way around a
simple bush. Things really should not have to be that way, and I don't
have a good answer on why they are.

Hi Ahsley

Thanks for trying, but I don't think I explained the problem properly.
I know how to turn browse mode on and off.  The problem is that, when
browse mode is off, I should be able to edit what I've written.  When
this happens, for whatever reason, the edit box goes silent, and normal
reviewing with the arrow keys produces only silence.  The whole box
reads with browse mode turned on, but it obviously can't be edited.  So
far, the only way I've found to make the box speak when browse mode is
off is to close and reopen W-E.
I hope that's clearer.
