Actually, I'm more surprised that for me, at least, the copy setting I elect stays constant until I change it. The change is made in JAWS quick settings, where many settings are one-time. That said, this may be one more reason to use the MS Word special paste feature, control-alt-v. It involves only one more key press than a simple control-v paste command.

However, I have encountered a continuing problem using this option with Windows 10, JAWS 17 and IE 11: If I press Insert v when in a web page in IE and choose the "Select and Copy from Virtual Cursor" and then press Enter on the OK button, it does work for a while. However, the next time I go to a web page and copy that page to the clipboard and paste it into a Word document, it might work or it might revert to the default option, which is "Select and Copy Full Content Using Onscreen Highlight." I contacted FS about this, but anything I have tried hasn't succeeded. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

You Wrote: 3. If you choose the, From Virtual Cursor option, this copies the text with formatting. If you choose the, Full Content Using Onscreen Highlight option, this will copy the text without formatting. Actually, it is the reverse. If you choose the, From Virtual Cursor, option, it will copy plain text. If you choose the, Full Content Using Onscreen Highlight, option, it will copy full content including formatting.

While in IE, you didn't say which browser so I'm assuming IE, press, Insert / Jaws Key, to open Quick Settings Internet Explorer. 2. Arrow down to, Virtual Cursor Options, & under this heading is Select & Copy, & here you have 2 choices which you press the spacebar to toggle between them. 3. If you choose the, From Virtual Cursor option, this copies the text with formatting. If you choose the, Full Content Using Onscreen Highlight option, this will copy the text without formatting.

I'm having a brain freeze here, and I can't remember for the life of me which setting I need to alter to allow me to copy and paste text from a webpage into a word document? At the moment what I'm copying is not what's being pasted! I've been into the Settings Centre, but I can't find the relevant check box, or even recall what it is I should be looking for. My stumbling about in there is getting me nowhere in a hurry! Any and all help gratefully received. Thanks.
