[gui-talk] Copying Text With Attributes From A Web Page

Greetings:

Apologies for the cross posting.

I am involved in a project where it is necessary to copy and paste text and
its accompanying attributes from Internet Explorer into Word.  I know that
all of the screen reading programs on the market allow one to copy and paste
the text of a Web page; what you get is the text and nothing else.  If I
were a mouse user, I could not only copy the text itself but also the text
attributes such as color, font, etc.  Has anyone found a way to do this
nonvisually?  The mouse cursors provided with the screen reading programs do
not seem to be of any help in this regard.

I fear I may be forced to use a sighted reader, which is a perfectly
acceptable albeit less economical approach<smile>.  Any and all help would
be appreciated.

Cordially,

Curtis Chong
