Neither PDF or RTF are graphic formats. PDF files can be scanned images.
But most are not. RTF (rich text format) is essentially a scaled down
version of Doc or a revved up version of Txt, depending on how you want
to look at it.
I never use Wordpad. But I tried it here on Windows 10. Selection works
fine. The problem is that the text that is selected does not change
color. So Window-Eyes has no way of knowing it is selected. At least
that's what happened here. I was able to cut, copy, and paste. But the
selected text was never voiced when selecting due to no color change.

Well it sure doesn't work here, and I've checked set file associations,
and that is correct.
I did Take Net Bat's suggestion and just save the file to .txt rather
than .rtf, and as it opened up in Note Pad, I was then able to select
using the shift-arrow combination, and it worked like a charm, or at
least the way it is supposed too.

I'm using Windows 7 and the usual method of selecting text by holding
down the shift key and moving the cursor using the standard arrow
keys (not the keypad arrow keys) works for me.

Hi Listers,
It's been a while, but here goes.
/Could someone please tell me if it is possible to select text for
cutting and pasting in Word Pad? It appears not to be doable here.
I've been trying to do this the standard way, by using the shift
arrow keys, but to no avail. At At first, I thought that WE 9.2 just
refused to read the selected text, but now I find that WP just
doesn't carry out the process. I am using WP to accomplish what I
consider small tasks, like in this case, keeping a listing of
recommended books for a friend which includes annotations, or maybe
for future downloading from Bookshare and the like.
I know I could use MSWord, but I really don't wish to open up such
a large program for such off handed and small task. Just a hangup of
mine I guess.
But if any one could please help me with this one I would really
appreciate it. This issue has been driving me a bit nuts for a while.
Thanks ,
Larry
