Hi,
Assuming you have quick nab turned off so the VO keys aren't pressed, interact 
with the text and in some cases you can move left and right.  Do this with the 
shift key like in mail, text edit etc to select.  Alternatively you can go to 
the start of the text you wish to copy, press VO and entrer, move to the end 
and press VO enter again to mark the end of your selection.  Then press command 
C to copy.  There are a number of ways, one usually works!
