Hi Lynn, and anyone who wants an easy way to copy the text of an email,
All you have to do is press Control-A to select the entire message,
Control-C to copy it all to the clipboard, and then Control-V to paste the
whole thing where you want to go.
I've tested this starting in an opened email message in Outlook 2010,
finally pasting the entire text of the email into Notepad.
This worked for me whether I am in our out of browse mode.
Using this method, then, in a way, you have the old form of control you used
to have over text.
Hth,
Rod

I fully concur with this. It is slow and cumbersome if you want to
copy things quickly.
When I would send out messages using email and Facebook, I would copy
the entire message into the clipboard from the email and then copy to
Facebook.
Is there a reason with Windows that you can no longer use the
control-shift arrow commands?

Hi. I can definitely confirm this, usually what happens is when I
paste the text it's the last bit of text I copied to the clipboard
instead of what I just selected. Also, when it does actually work,
I've noticed that Window-eyes handles larger bits of text instead of
just a few characters. Sometimes if I'm on a web site and I have to
copy a little bit of text like some kind of number, that doesn't get
selected. But if I have to select a larger bit of text, like several
sentences on a web page or an email that seems to work ok. I'm not
sure why this is, but it's what i've seen since the whole idea of
using f8 to select text got started. It's not very reliable, and I
seriously wish we could go back to the old way, or at least we should
be given a choice of methods to use.
