Hello, Jurgen, and thank you for your solution, which worked perfectly. I'm embarrassed by my mistakes, but I'll include them here in case they help others. I knew to interact with the paragraph in which the word I wanted to copy occured, but I pressed Command plus right arrow instead of VO plus right arrow to find the word, and I pressed Command-C to copy it instead of VO-SHIFT plus C. This double error made the operation fail miserably. I too often forget about the VO-SHIFT-C command. I'm rather surprised that the Apple Accessability rep did not know this sequence since, as you say, it is fairly simpler
