Hello Doug & Barbara, I copy web page contents a dozen times a day from all kinds of weird web sites for mathematicians. Here's how I do it to meet current needs:
Press f8 to Start, move to the end of the selection, press F8 again to Stop the selection process. (It might be worth while if Window-Eyes said "Stop Selection" to match the "Start Selection" message.) I press Enter to activate the Copy command. (Presently, Window-Eyes gives a bogus error message: Can't copy.) Then, I move onto my Word document where I want to place the web page contents. Next, I press Alt, H, V, S to bring up the Special Paste menu. Its options let you copy just ordinary text, Unicode text, formatted text, content as HTML, etc. Move onto the desired paste format and then press the Enter key. (Perhaps, GW Micro can build a macro to perform the paste process.) The best, Peter Duran P.S. There's a bug when reading web content: often content is verbalized twice. -----Original Message----- From: Doug Geoffray [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, February 05, 2015 4:45 PM To: Barbara Sheinbein; [email protected] Subject: Re: Using the F8 in Internet Explorer Barbara, Window-Eyes 9 will copy everything, including formatting just as a sighted user would get if they were copying the web content. This is by design. However, if you just want the text content I suggest you paste into notepad as it can't handle all the fancy formatting and just gets the text. If you truly need this in Word you can copy the contents of Notepad back into Word.

I have successfully used the new F8 copy feature on Internet Explorer 11. I have run into the situation of pasting the information into a MS Word document. Then when I go to read it in the MS Word document, I hear things like r3 etc. So I am assuming that this is a table now in MS Word. I further assume that the information was in some sort of table in internet explorer. I am sure I can eventually figure out how to read a MS Word table, but I would prefer to not bother. This information is just for me so I do not really need to be concerned about the appearance. What is the best approach now? Should I just figure out the WE 9 reading of a table in MS word? Is there a way to get rid of the table in MS Word? It does not appear to me that I have any choice on how the data is copied from internet explorer so my questions are focused on dealing with the MS Word document. Thanks in advance for any help.
