Hi,
You can control the way jaws copies text from the virtual buffer by going
to the adjust jaws options (jawskey + v) while in a html document. Move
to the virtual cursor section (should be the first one in the list),
and the first option in here allows you to choose how text is selected
and copied from a html document. I've pasted in the context help for this
option, as it appears in the dialogue. Note these options are only
available in Jaws 9.0.
This option controls whether or not JAWS will use the Text Selection and
Copy Commands from the Web browser, e-mail software, or other owner of a
virtual document.
With the "From Virtual Cursor" setting, text is copied as plain text without
formatting, pictures, and HTML attributes.
With the "Full Content" setting, the selection is highlighted when the user
presses CTRL + C to copy, and the selection will include all formatting
provided by the application as if it was selected with the Mouse.
With the "Full Content Using Onscreen Highlight" setting, the text and
elements you select are highlighted onscreen as you press selection keys
from the keyboard just as it would in programs like Word Processors. The
content is then copied with all formatting as in the prior option above.
Tim

Maureen,
I wonder should you also press the shift key with the down-arrow aas you are
selecting? Otherwise, hitting down-arrow *unselects* what you selected with
F8. (Here, below, is what I selected from the google [page just now. It's
only a part of the whole page, not all of the page, as I selected only a few
lines. It is different, because now JAWS9 by default in Internet Explorer
copies the page as a sighted person will see it.) Here we go:
Web Images News Groups Books Gmail more ? Scholar Blogs Calendar Documents
even more >

Paul, go to the start of paragraph which you want to copy with the home key
or no. 7 on numb pad, then press F8 for extended selection and arrow down to
the end of the text you want copied, then do control and C to copy to
clipboard.
Hope this helps.
