[blindlaw] Issues using Jaws and Westlaw in the last 24 hours.

[Singh, Nandini]

I, too, have noticed wacky copy-paste jobs. This is doubly annoying, since I know for sighted users, you can not only copy-and-paste the selected text but also the citation is appended automatically after your excerpt.

I have problems regularly selecting and copying text from WestLaw.
Frequently I end up with text I didn't mean to copy pasted into my
document, or missing words I thought were selected. And I'm sure I
selected the text.  I have a Braille display and speech and I'm very
specific about what I am trying to copy.

Additionally does anyone else have the following problems with WestLaw
on a regular basis:
_ if I save a case or statute to a folder, I can't exit out of the
folder area.  It says you should be able to close it with escape or by
pressing enter on the close button but neither works for me.
- I can never access the advanced search link with JAWS 18.  I always
have to unload JAWS 18 and bring up JAWS 16 to activate the link.
