Hi Mark,
First of all, if you wish to copy material from a Web page the old way,
which may suit your needs, open the Insert V menu of options and change that
one to the virtual cursor method instead of the two that describe copying
the HTML Web page in all its coded glory.
But secondly, I've also noticed that when you select some or all of a Web
page now, it doesn't darken to indicate that it's been selected. If the
Insert V option is set to the new capability and you select some or all of a
Web page, it won't darken when you select, but then it *will* darken when
you press Control C top copy.
All of which I, like you, find puzzling.
But if you're using the copy from virtual cursor method, go ahead select
something from a Web page, then open an email or a text file in Notepad or a
Word document (so long as you're set for the virtual cursor option, and be
certain about that), and press control v. You will see that it copies, even
though the selection didn't darken.
I have no idea what this is about. I suppose that the impressions of
partially sighted users aren't paramount on FS's list of priorities, and it
may mean nothing at all in a practical sense. But I can't help but be
distracted and a little mistrustful, just as you must feel.

Subject: JAWS 9 Word & IE 7 Problems
Hello List,
I am running the latest version of JAWS 9 on several machines. So far it
performs well on all but one.
The machine I am having problems with is running XP Home Edition and Office
2000. Here are the problems I am experiencing:
1 When in Word, I cannot read anything with the PC curser. I can use the
Jaws curser to read text but nothing with the PC. I have some residual
vision and I can tell that the curser is moving but it will not read using
the PC curser.
2 When typing in Outlook Express, JAWS will read as I type but will not read
when I try to review the text. Again, I can use the JAWS curser but not the
PC.
3 Finally, when in IE 7, The text will not highlight when I select it. I
have changed the verbosity option to show highlighted text on screen but it
does not show up.
I wondered if these problems might be display settings but nothing I have
changed in respect to screen resolution has improved things. Anyone have
any suggestions? One last thing, I have recompiled scripts in both IE and
Word but again, no luck.
Thanks in advance,
Mark
