Hi.

You can select text by interacting with it and press VO enter. When you press VO right arrow, you'll hear some noise which means you are selecting. When you have selected what you want, press VO enter again and command c to copy the selected text.

The Voiceover find doesn't work as it should. You can instead use the item chooser by pressing VO i and type in what you are searching for.
Best regards

hey guys

so I'm in the process of doing a very fun thing...or not, lol...selecting courses for next semester!!

the fall 2008 timetable is kinda dumb how it's all laid out, every single subject available is on one page organized alphabetically. is there any way I can just do a find for what I want instead of having to go through all that miles and miles of stuff I don't care about? lol. I figured out that VO f is a find command, but it didn't seem to work when I tried it. all it did was stall safari for about 30 seconds, it didn't actually take me to where on the page I wanted to be. so I did the tedius task of scrolling through from A to C, and when I got to my subject, creative writing/journalism, I looked through and thought I'd copy and paste the possibilities into text edit so I'd have something smaller to work with. when I tried the standard selecting by line command, command shift right arrow, it didn't do anything. so I opened up text edit, wrote a few lines and tried it there just to make sure I was doing it right, and it worked. is it not possible to select things out of safari and copy them into text edit? I even tried interacting with the text before selecting, and that didn't work either.

thanks for any help! I'm trying to boot up the pc as little as possible here, lol.
peace and positivity
