Brandon,
Combining the shift key with several navigation keys enables you to select
larger blocks of text. John Martyn mentioned the shift and down arrow to
select a line. Just make sure focus is at the beginning of the line you want
to copy.
You can also select a line with shift plus up arrow. Here, place focus at
the beginning of the next line.
Shift plus pageup or pagedown selects a larger block of text, although the
result on a webpage is random. What I often do is press shift+pagedown, then
continue with the shift+down arrow until an entire article (for example) is
selected.
Shift plus control plus end key selects from the point of focus to the
bottom of the webpage. Substituting the home key for the end key selects
from focus to the top of the webpage.
Of course, control-a (without the shift key) selects the entire webpage.
I believe the shakiness you describe indicates a page that is constantly
refreshing. somewhere in the "adjust JAWS options" dialog or the JAWS 12
equivalent, there is a fix that you might want to apply to specific pages. I
don't have the time just now to look for it, and anyway, I'm using JAWS 11
and you're probably using JAWS 12.

Subject: selecting on a web-page?
Hello,
two things:
first, is there a way to select fast on a web page, more than just by word?
it takes a really long time to copy articles or stories I want to keep...
Second, Does anyone know if there's a way to stop the shaking of WebPages
when I'm selecting them? Having something shake super fast like that makes
me sick, so I'd rather not have to tern off my screen each time I'm
selecting on a web-page...
Here's A page with both problems.

I'm using Jaws 11 with Windows Vista.
Thanks,
Brandon Keith
