I've not had much luck selecting text in Safari, but try using shift with up and down arrows. To select text in a document, just add shift to any navigation command. For instance, to select the next word, use shift-option-right; to select to the end of the document, use cmd-shift-down. On Feb 2, 2013, at 1:52 PM, Katie Zodrow <kzodrow...@att.net> wrote:
