Read the ReadMe, Bill the lazy bum! grin. Okay. I'll do it for you.
To select text in the new Browse Mode system, first locate the spot
where you want selection to begin, and press F8. Window-Eyes will say,
"selection start." Next, move to the location where you wish selection
to stop, and press F8 again. This time, a dialog box will open
containing three buttons:
- Copy -- When activated, copies the selection to the clipboard.
You can then paste it into another application, such as Notepad or
Microsoft Word. Note that pasting into a simple text editor like Notepad
will merely cause the text of the selected content to appear, whereas
pasting into a full-fledged word processor like Microsoft Word will
retain all text formatting and images that are contained in the selection.
- Reset Selection Start -- When activated, sets the start of the
selection to the current Browse Mode location.
- Cancel -- When activated, closes the dialog without doing anything.
Note that this new selection command mirrors how a fully sighted
computer user would highlight text with the mouse. In fact, the
selection will be visible on screen just as if a physical mouse was used
rather than F8. Note that in Thunderbird, selecting text works
identically to Internet Explorer and Firefox except that there is no
visual indication that one has taken place. This hot key, which is
called "Select Content," can also be changed in the Hot Keys -> Browse
Mode section of the Window-Eyes control panel. In addition,
Control-Shift-M will speak the current selection. Finally, be aware that
Window-Eyes will announce whether the copy operation was successful.

Using window-Eyes 9. Did the way to select from a web page change in
window-eyes 9?
For some reason shift-control end doesn't work if I want to select the page.
