Hmmm, well shut my mouth; I’m not sure why, but I was laboring under the dilution that “Text Selection” was not available while reading an e-mail message. I just tried it on one in my InBox and — wahLah - it works just fine. I wonder what in the Sam Hell made me think “Text Selection” was not

The other option is to use the text selection rotor options and then go to edit and select copy. Then do the same with paste. Either way you slice it, this will be a multistep process. Scott On 2/15/18, John JD Denning wrote: > The reasonable solution from Apple would be a verbosity setting that

Hi, what are you do is either delete anything extra after I paste it. Or if that doesn’t work for some reason I’ll go through the extra step of first pasting it into just a note, so I have a text, and then delete the extra characters there, and then re-copy just what I want. I don’t think there

Hi, Since this feature is only a VO feature, it is meant to copy all of the text VO just spoke. That would include links, table messages, etc. I just delete the extra stuff after I paste it into the app. Aleeha > On Feb 14, 2018, at 10:34 AM, Bill Gallik wrote: > > When reading ME-mail messa
