You can also copy selected text by pressing the Share Button in Safari. This eliminates the need to use the rotor to select. edit. Either the suggestion from Applevis or Share will work.

It will not copy an entire page if its markup is, say, several paragraphs. On Mar 26, 2015, at 1:01 PM, David Griffith <daj.griff...@gmail.com> wrote: I apologize.

However this issue has been discussed on Apple Vis and a solution suggested.
