[macvoiceover] Re: Copy and paist from a website, some answers.

Oaky, so this is what I get for not keeping up with my mail! sorry for the
repitition. Keith. you beet me!  I would echo your thought on not pressing
the keys slowly. I usually hold cmd-ctrl-shift and tap the spacebar quickly
3 times. yes it is a consistant way to get this text and will work every
time.
