There's a way easier way to do this.
Start by placing Voiceover on the item you need to begin selecting from,
then hit vo+return. Now use your vo navigation and go to the end of what
you need selected. Then hit vo+return again. Now everything between those
chunks should be selected. Now just hit command+C to copy.
It took me quite some time to figure this out, but now that I have, it
usually never fails.

Hi David,
I've now assigned a key on the numpad to the copy last phrase to
clipboard command and was hoping I could use this to copy quite a
large chunk of text to the clipboard. I started VO reading with a two
finger swipe down and when it got to the end of what I wanted two
finger tapped to stop it. I silenced it a bit too late and the last
thing it said was "list 2 items" which was after the text I wanted,
and when I pasted the result I just had "list two items". I was then
hoping I could move by paragraph and copy those one at a time but
paragraphs doesn't seem to be an option in the web rotor. I haven't
tried moving by static text as I assume, because there are links mixed
into this largely textual bit of the page, that wouldn't work all the
way through.
What I want to select is a heading, then a few links, and then a large
chunk of text which has some links scattered throughout. Is it
possible to select all this in one go using either the interact with
text thing, or the copy last phrase to clipboard thing? What I mean
by "all in one go" is pressing any combination of keystrokes several
times to select the stuff without having to select first a heading,
copy and paste that, then go and select /copy/paste some text, then
the links etc. If not I'll probably use the quick nav, press shift
down arrow method just press it lots of times and see what the results
are when I paste it (as VO isn't announcing the selection).
Thanks,
Catherine

I was on my Mac this afternoon and I had no problem with Safari
announcing
text that I had selected no matter what method I used including lines and
words selected from the Web rota.
There appears to be a problem then with some Voiceover settings where it
is
not announcing all selected text. This appears however to be an issue not
confined to you as others on this list appear also to have encountered
this
problem.
Very peculiar as I cannot reproduce this difficulty at all.
I am using voiceover with medium verbosity. As far as I am aware I have
not
altered anything else in verbosity.
