OK IT IS TIME TO INSTALL FUSION AND WINDOWS. I USE THIS FEATURE ALL
OF THE TIME WHEN SURFING. THIS IS TOO MUCH FOR SOMETHING SO SIMPLE. I
WILL SAY WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID AND THAT IS I HOPE THEY WILL CORRECT
THIS IN LEOPARD.

Hi all.
I've been searching the list, and I haven't found any mention of
this, but please let me know if I'm mentioning something that's
already been posted.
It's been pointed out here several times that you can't select
chunks of text in Safari, only the whole page. That's not precisely
true.
You can usually select a paragraph of text, if your mouse is
pointing at it, by triple clicking on it. In other words, if you're
VO arrowing through the text on a web page, all the text spoken by
pressing, say, VO down arrow can be highlighted with a triple
click, if you either have your mouse cursor following your VO
coursor of move it there once you've gotten to the bit you want to
copy.
Also, If you want to highlight multiple continuous chunks, triple
click on the first, VO down the number of chunks you want, move
your mouse and shift-click on the last chunk. That'll select
everything from where you triple clicked to where you are now, and
you can copy that text to the clipboard.
this *very* occasionally doesn't work, for reasons I haven't been
able to work out. You'll get *part* of the chunk, but not all of
it, and I'm not entirely sure why. This usually happens to me with
program code examples. Also, I only just learned about the shift-
click thing today, so I haven't tested it heavily, but it *does*
seem to work.
Hope this helps someone and that I'm not stating the obvious here."
