Just a slight correction, or maybe a clarification.
You need to locate the first character you wish to select, then press
F8, then arrow to the last character you wish to select, then press F8
again, and then you will be presented with your options from which to
choose.
One thing you might also remember, that if you should use the ctrl key
to select by word, that you will need to select the last word one letter
at a time. If this isn't actually true, someone please let me know, but
this little quirk had me confused for a while until either I figured it
out, or came to just accept the inconvenient of it all.
On the whole I've really come to like the F8 arrangement, because you
can select from between headers in Web pages, or much of the time in my
case, Bookshare DAISY books, and not have to worry about losing any of
the text by pressing either header keys or tabs. It just works so
beautifully so far.

Jed. Ok. Use the arrow keys to find the beginning of the text you want to
select. Press the right arrow key until you come to the end of the text you
want to select. Now press the f8 key. You will be presented with three
choices. The first choice is copy plain text, and the other choices are
copy text with formatting, and the third choice is to reset selected text or
something like that. Once you pick the plain text button, and if that is
the selection you want, press the enter key. Then you'll have to find the
document in which you want to paste the selected text. Press the ctrl-v key
combo. I hope I didn't leave anything out, smile. If I did, feel free to
jump in here, smile.
