I had to learn to do a copy this weekend. I was in TextEdit. Once I had the cursor in the right location, I did VO return then used the arrow keys to select the desired text. Not VO arrow keys, just the arrow keys alone. When I selected all the text I did VO return again and then command c t

Dear Gigi, Thank you so much for trying. Like you, I've discovered the copying of the entire document from Preview into a TextEdit document. The formatting is preserved although I can't say to what extent. Anne's method will help me copy just a couple of words which is the case from time to

Dear Anne, Thank yo so much for this. I was under a false impression that the command vo+return for selecting text in webpages and other applications where the usual shift+arrow keys don't work was substituted by vo+command+return. That's why I didn't even try the former. Thanks a bunch! An
