Hi, Try pasting what's been copied into a blank TextEdit document. It's best to have the TextEdit document set to Plain Text to get the best results. So, when you open a blank TextEdit document, press cmd-shift-t and it will be set to Plain Text. Press cmd-v to paste in the contents of the copied cell. Often, VO will announce "Copy" even if the item was not actually put into the Clipboard, I think VO is simply announcing what key combination was pressed. If nothing is pasted into your TextEdit document when doing this, then it's not likely focusing properly on the cell and thus not really copying anything. If this is the case, try using just arrow keys or the tab key to navigate to the cell that you're copying from and see if that changes anything.
Keep me in the loop. Later... Tim Kilburn Fort McMurray, AB Canada On Aug 27, 2015, at 21:22, Agent086b <agent0...@internode.on.net> wrote: Hi Tim, > thanks for your reply.
