Ah, but in JAWS 9 one can now copy text from web pages and the contents pasted will appear as if a sighted person was reading it, i.e. it won't include things that the JAWS virtual cursor inserts, like "list end" or "table end". It can be found by going into the Adjust JAWS Options dialogue box from within Internet Explorer, under the virtual cursor options branch of the tree. Just thought I'd throw this in here for those using JAWS 9 or for those who are considering upgrading to JAWS 9.

Hi Marie

Here's a funny story about printing web pages that I discovered some time ago.

If I want to buy something out of Argos, for example, I tend to select the info from their website and print it off. One day, I handed the girl my piece of paper and she said: "Your nest doesn't have a catalogue number, which nest of tables is it you want?" I must have looked at her as if she was mad, I had no idea at all what she was talking about. I asked if she could explain, and it transpired that I had copied the bit where JAWS says: "nested list" or whatever it babbles on about sometimes. Well I must admit I wanted to sit on the floor and crease up with laughter when I found out it had nothing whatsoever to do with a nest of tables.

So Marie, the moral of this story is, if I only want a portion of info from a web page, I just select it and paste into Word, then print it. I very rarely ever print whole pages straight off the web now as JAWS seems to include all its headings etc and end of list stuff into the text which comes out on the paper. (Having a good chuckle).

Seriously though, there is often a link on the page which says Print This Page. I think that allows you to get a version with less links and the info you want, but I rarely do it that way now.

Subject: [access-uk] Printing webpages


I've been told on more than one occasion when I've printed webpages for friends or family that part of the page have been left out. Why is this? the page reads perfectly, usually, it's the end of each line that is missing but sometimes, it's the beginning,I think, how can this be rectified? How can I be sure other than by scanning it that the page has printed properly.
Thanks in advance for any advice/comments.
Cheers now,
Marie
