Hi,
I think that these new verbosity options in version 9 are some of the most
powerful Jaws features we now have. I am a bit puzzled that hitting ESCAPE
saves the changes. This action doesn't follow standard Windows convention.

This problem is easily corrected. With Jaws 9, when you copy something from
the web, the default is that all formatting from the original web page is
retained. Depending on what you paste the selected text into, this may cause a
problem. To change this, you need to open the Jaws verbosity options tree view
while in your web browser and change the select and copy option. To accomplish
this, do the following:
1. Open your web browser.
2. Press the Jaws key plus V to open the new tree view for Jaws options.
3. Press the down arrow key to find the option for select and copy. This is
found under the virtual cursor options. You should have to press the down arrow
key three or four times to find this option.
4. When you find the select and copy option, you can press the tab key to
move to the help window. Use the say all command to read the help information
for the select and copy option.
5. Use the shift tab key to move back to the tree view. Press the space bar
to change the options for the select and copy option. To make the option work
the way it did in earlier versions of Jaws, select the "from virtual cursor"
option.
6. Close the Jaws verbosity options window.
This change is permanent and remains in effect even if you shutdown Jaws or
your computer.
The full content option is the default in Jaws 9 - this is what retains all
formatting when copying text from a web page.

I'm using the latest version of JAWS 9. When I used to use JAWS 8 and early
9 I would just do a copy & paste from either an e.mail or web page and then
paste it into a word document and be able to format the copy in the word
document, now with the latest version of JAWS 9 when I copy/cut text from some
e.mails and all web pages then paste it into a word document I cannot reformat
the text that I copied, the pasted text appears to have cells and sometimes
only word on a line and it cannot be changed or formatted. Many times I want to
cut/copy a financial newsletter from a website and transfer it to a word
document and strip out useless content and cannot modify the document. Someone
said a HTML document cannot be edited inside a word document and any help from
FS has been useless since I get the following from them:
1. Activate the verbosity dialog "JAWS key+v"
2. Press the letter s until you get to:
Select and copy from
3. Press the spacebar until this says virtual cursor and hit enter
Now, see if you can copy as you desire to.
#2: There is no off/on option for that setting, it is switch to a different
setting and the virtual cursor option is the option that was used in previous
versions.
Of course I tried it with no luck, possibly doing something wrong but their
instructions to use the space key does nothing. Frustrated to say the least

are having?

I too having been pissed off that I cannot copy & paste a web page or
e.mail into a word document and edit it as I used to be able to do. Apparently,
FS doesn't want to listen since I've sent them several e.mails and to no avail
since they think we all should do as they want us to do. So far any assistance
I've received from them does not solve the problem, why don't they just work
with users? This program is an expensive plus they suck us in for a $120- S/M
fee each year, what do we get from that?
I'm about to bite the bullet and can JAWS and purchase EYEs and see if
that works any better.
If you find out how we can copy & paste e.mails or web pages into a Word
document with the cells and links and edit it, let me know, otherwise I'm done
with donating to FS each year for their S/M !

First, I use ctrl, plus shift, and end to select the text that I want.
Then, I use ctrl plus c to copy to the cliff board.
Then, I use ctrl plus v to paste in to microsoft Word.
However, when I try to read the text, Jaws reads it as a table with
some sort of uni-code.
I just was not sure if there is something in the setting of Word that I
might need to change. (That is, the menus).
The purpose of prayer is not to get what we want,
but to become what God wants.

How are you copying the text? Are you copying it by the page, by the
line or a few words at a time?

Hello,
When I copy text from the internet and try to paste it in to Word,
the text comes up in a table, how can I fix that?
