Hi, I'm not Jonathan, but the answer to your question is yes, it works.
Just make sure after pressing vo-return, not to stop pressing vo, then
you can errow to select as much as you want.
Best,
Leo.

You can sorta do this if the text is in a block, but if there is
graphics or tables or even perhaps font changes I find the below
method does not work.
1. Go to starting text and interact until it says interacting with text.
2. Press VO-return. VO says start selecting.
3. Move to where you want to end the selection while moving VO will
make a dragging type of sound. and press vo-return again. VO should
say stop selecting.
Now perform what ever actions you need on the selection. The good
thing about this, is if you somehow break the selection, the sound
will stop.
Best wishes,
Jonathan Cohn

Hello everyone,
I wonder whether what I want to do on my mac can be done or not.
Working in windows with jaws, I can copy text from a web page
following these steps:
First, I define a marker, which would be the initial point, and
then I go through the text body just until the point where I want
to drag the selection, and
I press a keystroke which performs the action described as select
the text between mark place and current position of the cursor."
Can this be done somehow with voice over?
If someone had information about it, it would be great!
Best,
Leo.
