Thanks . I use the default mode, I think that is dom mode? I use Lion and things appear to be a bit more complicated than Snow Leopard in this respect. Certainly the steps you suggest does not work for me assuming I am in the right dom mode. It would be great if you could VO enter and then just cursor to the text you need and vo enter to stop the highlight. If I could do that I would be perfectly happy.
I have tried following Ricardo Walkers Podcasts in which he tries to grapple with this problem and the steps he takes just do not work on my setup. You can get some progress by interacting down to the text but then you are restricted to the paragraph element you are in. On another occasion I was trying to copy the text out of a heading for a reference I needed to make and nothing I could do could access it although I could get to the text either side of it. The quickest and best work around I find is to use Shift VO C to copy the last phrase read by Voiceover and then edit it down in Text Edit if, for example, I want a telephone number.

I never had trouble copying text from web pages if I was in dom mode. I usually used groups mode though, and if the text I wanted to copy crossed groups, it didn't always work well, but vo-enter to start highlighting, then vo-enter to stop highlighting, then command- c to copy the text always worked for me in snowleopard and up. (haven't used lion, nothing here that will run it) <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html> or at the public Mail Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/>.
