Hi Cara. I hadn't actually played with the select feature in safari
all that much, and I probably should have before writing. It appears
to be quite limited. You have to interact with each bit of text
before you can select, so not sure how you could select large sections.

Hi Darcy, yes I'm using Leopard, and I've tried the VO select
feature but it doesn't seem to want to work on a larger block of
text, such as a paragraph or so.
Any idea what I might be doing wrong?...
I can interact with text on the page, press the VO select combo,
and then can use left or right arrows to select text, but if I try
using any other nav commands such as down arrow to select entire
lines, it doesn't seem to remain in select mode or for whatever
reason, just won't select the text. Am I making sense?...
Anyway, thanks for your note, and if you've any other thoughts on
this, I'd sure love to hear them! <smile>
Have a lovely day!...
Smiles,
CQ :)

Hi Cara. Are you using Leopard? If so, you can use the voiceover
select feature. Do a VO return to start selecting text, then you
move the VO cursor over the text you want, then do another VO enter
to stop selecting. You can then do a command c to copy the text,
and then you can do whatever you want with it.
