Hello Chris. This is Sky. If your talking about internet explorer, they have changed the how you select text selection to how a sighted person would do it. In IE, to select a line of text, you hit the function key f8, to make your first selection. Then, you use your up and down arrow keys, or the left and right arrow keys, or the control arrow keys to find where you want to end. Then, you hit f8 again, to finish your selection. A dialog comes up. You have 3 choices. The first choice, is to copy the selection with playn text. This would be like how you would do it in notepad with the shift arrow keys and control c for copy. Next, is a button that says copy text with formatting. What this does, is it copies the selection but it preserves the font information and the formatting information that is on the web page. The next button is reset selection, which, as the name suggests, resets the selection. The last button, is cancel, which cancels the dialog. I hope this helps. Sky. PS. I am also Window-Eyes certified which means I will be able to help users and new users Window-Eyes.
