Hi there 

It's kind of strange on internet, since texts are in blocks. Basically if you 
find something within a block of text that you want to copy, you have to first 
interact with the text block, and then make your way to the area of interest, 
select it by pressing vo enter at the beginning , and vo enter at the end and 
then ctrl c to copy the selection. I seem to remember that I was able to find a 
system cursor in the html area, which enabled me to select text from multiple 
blocks at a time. I could just arrow up and down and it would read and have the 
possibility of selecting text line by line as though I were in a simple text 
document. I just tried and it doesn't seem to work for me anymore. 

The other option you have is vo shift c, which copies the last phrase spoken, 
useful if you can't select something by the other process. 

Regards
