Well, forget about my last post and this selecting and copying working so well. Yet another bug in ML, and yes, I will report it to Apple. Selecting the text on a web page works fine the first time, but if you want to select another part of the text from the same,Voiceover will not regain its focus or insertion point, as it still wants to start selecting text from the first place you selected the text. The only work around I found for this was to toggle VO off and on, which of course than takes you back to the start of the document, than you get to find the area you want to select and copy again, and VO will allow you to select the new area. Here is another example of how a blind person has no shot at being as productive of our sighted peers. Quiet frustrating as this took me forever to accomplish
