To copy text do the following. 1. Put your focus just in front of what you want to copy. Then hold down ctl+shift then hit the right arrow key. Every time you hit the right arrow key while holding down the ctl+shift key jaws will announce what word you have selected. So right arrow until you have everything selected that you want to copy. 2. Then hold down the ctl key then hit the C key to copy. You should then hear jaws say copied. 3. Then go to the place where you want to copy the text and put the focus there. Then hold down the ctl key and hit the V key to paste the text.
Let me know it that works for you. There are more keys you can use to select more text like a whole line or whole page.
