I use the Paste Special option frequently. Especially when copying info from a website to a Word doc or an e-mail.

I've never tried the control Alt V paste special method, and would be interested to know if others have had more luck with that. I can also give it a try here at some point. Thanks for the suggestions.

Regardless, my workaround is: select and copy the entire message not with control-a,-but by placing focus at the top of the message and pressing shift-control-end. Paste the copied text into Notepad, Select and copy that result with control-a, Paste the result into an empty Word file. Then I search for the passage I want and go from there. If I paste from the email to Word, the confusing table format is retained. As I write, I'm wondering if I've tried the control-alt-v paste special method to paste as unformatted text. You might try that in order to skip the Notepad step. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Tom Behler Sent: Saturday, November 12, 2016 9:36 AM To: 'Jaws users list' Subject: [JAWS-Users] Problems With Selecting, Copying, And Pasting e-mail message content In Outlook 2016 Hello, everyone. Recently, I have been having problems with selecting, copying, and pasting e-mail message content in Outlook 2016. In many instances, the text I select does not correspond to what I later copy and paste either into a word or notepad document. I have tried routing the PC cursor to the Jaws cursor, but this does not solve the issue. The only way I can get the copied and pasted text to correspond to the selected text is to select the text character by character, and then go through the usual copy and paste process. I believe this is a Jaws issue. I'm using Windows 7 and Jaws 17 with Outlook 2016 here. Any assistance would be appreciated.
