Hi again,Yes, I did have some of those problems, particularly with Copying and Pasting from a web page into a Word document. Then, I looked at the "What's New" section on the FS site and found the solution.
In JAWS 9.0, when you are in Internet Explorer, you have the option to Copy & Paste a web page exactly as it appears to a sighted person, including usable links & pictures, etc. or you can Copy & Paste the web page just as text, which is the way it was always Copied & Pasted in earlier versions of JAWS. To toggle this back & forth, open Internet Explorer & press Insert v, which now gives you a Tree View. Cursor down to Virtual Cursor Options open & cursor right. You will hear Select and Copy from Virtual Cursor or Select & Copy full content or Select & Copy full content using onscreen highlight; you can toggle among these 3 options by pressing the SpaceBar. Once you are on the option you want, Tab around to Execute & press the SpaceBar on the Execute button. Note: the option you want is Select and Copy from Virtual Cursor.
Hope this helps, Don----- Original Message ----- From: "Yardbird" <yardbird@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Don,yes. Let's say you're on a Web page. A normal Web page. The printer friendlyversion of a New York Times article at nytimes.com, for example. Nothing unusual about the page itself. Now, sometimes I like to copy and paste such an article into an email, or even into a Word document. I know other ways to send a URL or a Web page,and I know how to save the page as a text file and then copy and paste fromthat new file, if I wish to. But never mind these options. I'm not looking for an alternative. I'm simply describing a function that doesn't work correctly anymore. Okay. So I'm on the page. I press Control A to select all. I hear Jawsreport that so many characters have been selected, which is normal. However,and this may be a clue to anyone else who's partially sighted, as I am: At this point, the selected material always used to darken, which frombetter-sighted days I remember was the visual clue to what material had been selected. Well, now the selected text doesn't change appearance. That isn'ta complaint. It's a possible clue to eventual diagnosis by the pros. Okay. Then I press Control C. I hear Jaws report that I've copied thematerial to the clipboard. Except for the lack of contrast change up to that point, it must sound as if everything's normal. However, interestingly, it'sat this point, as I perform the copy keystroke, that the selected text darkens. This is weird. Again, maybe a clue to a programmer type.Now, if I paste this material into an email I'm creating, it works, althoughwith one odd glitch, which may be another clue about something: It creates so many blank lines above the first line of the text on the page that at least the first screen of my new email is blank, and to see that the texthas been pasted, I have to arrow down quite a bit until I come to any of it.Now, that's a bit odd, of course. But here's an even worse result. If I paste the same thing into an open Word 2000 document,the Word doc remains blank for a moment, and then Word crashes, providing a dialogue askingwhether I want to send a report, etc. Afterward, for several launches, Word asks questions about the normal.dot template, which I wasn't aware of havingaltered, or forbids me to exit Word without doing something to save a version of that template, when I have no idea why it's giving me a hardtime. If I play tricks, can't even remember how I got out of this last time,it finally gives up and lets me exit in a normal way, but the whole experience is crazy. And it is caused by my attempting to paste in a Web page I've copied to clipboard, as I said. Something which has always been a perfectly normal operation.I hope that's a good enough description. Has something like this happened toyou? Or were you just curious?----- Original Message ----- From: "Don Moore" <donmoore@xxxxxxxxxxx>To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2007 9:00 AM Subject: Re: new JAWS 9.0.515 Hi Yardbird, You wrote, in part: "IE 7 select all (control A)on a Web page for copying to clipboard doesn't work right" (end of quote) Could you please elaborate on this?

Here are some examples, and I'd be curious to know if anyone else is having the same issues. IE 7 select all (control A)on a Web page for copying to clipboard doesn't work right, and if I don't play games like pressing Control C twice insteadof once (learned by experimenting), then trying to paste into an open Worddocument crashes Word.In edit fields like the Save As dialogue in Word and the hotkey assignment in properties for a program icon, Jaws doesn't echo typing or speak when Iuse Say Line. Oddly, it does speak the autocomplete as it fills in the pathand filename edit field in Save As, which of course gets ahead of what I'mtrying to do, but it won't allow me to read what has been auto filled in and edit it. Nor to edit what I type in myself after selecting and deleting that stuff. Useless. When beginning to type a message in the message area of a new OutlookExpress message, Jaws speaks whatever it accidentally is focused on, whichis sometimes the From line of the headers, sometimes the To line, and so forth. Very quirky, although more annoying than disabling, unlike the above examples. And here's some unwelcome news to share. Scripts for AdAware and Spyware Blaster aren't working at all. I've explored both with the Jaws cursor, butcan't make much sense of either, and that's okay. I've exited this versionand launched Jaws 8 so I can get things done today. Now to alt tab around the task bar and see if Lavasoft finally finished downloading the latest AdAware update. Now and then the update downloads as quickly as it alwayshas, but more often, it creeps along or just sticks for minutes at a time.No, I'm not having download issues otherwise. It's Lavasoft, not me. Okay, that's it so far. Going to write to FS and pretend to myself I'm taking part in the public Beta testing. After the final release.
