[macvoiceover] Re: Copy and paist from a web page?

It not very intuitive and the whole process need to be given more thought but here's a short set on instructions for copying text from web pages to the clipboard:
Navigate to the text you wish to copy. If you want more than one paragraph of text you will need to copy and paste them one after the other. This is the part that needs to be rethought. 

Move the mouse to the VoiceOver focus with Command-option-control-F5
Click the mouse three times, option-control-shift-spacebar. This selects all the text under the VoiceOver cursor. 

Command-C to copy and then paste the text where you want.

You will need to repeat these steps for each section of text you want.
Clicking once places the insertion point in the text, twice selects only the word that the mouse is pointing at, three times will select the whole line, which in web pages is usually the paragraph. Here is an example of something I copied from Slashdot and pasted here:
"Crowd Control Productions, maker of the MMORPG EVE Online, announced today at their annual fanfest in Reychavik, Iceland that a merger between White Wolf Publishing and themselves is a done deal. From the White Wolf Press Release: 'The merged company will enable CCP to integrate White Wolf's leading expertise in offline gaming development to enhance and create physical products for its MMOG, EVE Online. Products to be introduced in 2007 will include strategy guides, enhanced collectible card games, role-playing systems, and novels all based on EVE Online. White Wolf will leverage CCP's industry-leading technologies to bring its offline role-playing titles online. Conceptualization and early development has begun to bring White Wolf's World of Darkness, one of the world's strongest gaming properties, into the online world.' Each company will keep its own name and Hilmar Petursson, Chief Executive Officer of CCP, will step up as CEO of the merged companies." 

Hope this helps

Hello every one,
Does any one know how some one using Voiceover mite copy and paist from a webpage? The problem seems to be, after you have interacted with control-option-shift-downarrow, you can not hilight text with the shift and arrow keys. I must be missing something. I can select all of the web page and then cut out the parts I don't need, but this seems like a long way to go to do this. 

Thanks.
