Hi, Matt. Here's how to copy and paste text using the f8 key method. Find the beginning of the text you want to copy. Press f8. Using your arrow keys find the end of the text and press f8 again. Then as explained in an earlier post, a dialog will pop up with three choices. Pick the choice you want. The choices are copy plain text, copy with formatting, reset selection or cancel. You don't need to press any other keys. As the earlier post mentioned, the new copy method is how sighted people copy and paste text. The readme clearly mentions this in the section explaining the changes between Window-eyes 8.4 and 9.0. The readme file is a valuable resource which can help answer some of the questions posted to this list. I used the copy and paste text method using the f8 key and it works beautifully. And, oh yes, I am one of those who advocate for those who would like to be able to use the traditional text selection method in addition to the f8 copy and paste method.
Speaking of referring to the readme, or the e-mail Doug Geoffray posted explaining how to install Windows 10 using Window-eyes 9.2 if you have it installed, keep it around and go over it because it also is a valuable piece of information. I tried to e-mail Doug privately but I got the e-mail address wrong, and of course it bounced, smile. .

Have read the email on the F8 key, but can't seem to get it to work. I started at the beginning of where I wanted to highlight text, pressed control-shif-end, f8, followed by c, and got "unable to copy to clipboard". What am I doing wrong? This is more confusing than the original of just highlighting and hitting control-c. Thanks in advance.--Matthew Chao _______________________________________________ Any views or opinions presented in this email are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Ai Squared.
