Set a hotspot at the beginning of the text you wish to copy. It must not be a link. Then set a hotspot at the end of the text, and once again, it must not be a link. At your first hotspot, bring the mouse and do a physical mouse click. Go to the second hotspot, bring the mouse, and do a Shift-Click using the physical mouse (or trackpad, of course). All the text in between should now be highlighted. Cheers, Anne On 16 Jan 2012, at 23:27, Bill Holton wrote: Hi. That works great, so long as everything you want to copy is in the same element. Try this with two blocks of text that are separated by a link or two and you will be stopped dead at the element change. This is how things happen here, maybe I am doing something wrong? Seems to me the ssmart way to do this would be with quick nav. If I can press the up and down arrow to move by word, link, heading, etc. It seems to me the logical next step would be to use Shift up and down arrows to highlight all the way to the beginning or end of the current word, link, heading, table, etc. I could then pause, change the rotor, and continue my highlighting. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
