If it's the Reader Mode you want, it's under the View menu.

How do we get to reader mode for other browsers?

In addition to using the view menu, you can also hit ctrl-alt-r once the

page is loaded. It doesn't work for everything, but it's pretty cool when it works. As for the question somebody else asked about getting it on other browsers, I think Safari for mac has something like it, but I forget how it works. You can get it in Chrome but I think you have to tinker with the configuration. https://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-enable-reader-mode-in-chrome/ There are also a couple of Chrome extensions that seem to do it, I haven't messed with any of this because I hardly use Chrome. Apparently it's built into Edge, with a keyboard shortcut to boot. http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/56266/microsoft-edge-how-to-use-reading-mode/

You can also press control alt are. This is the shortcut for the reader view. Please Bear in mind that it does not always work I do not know what criteria have to be met for reader view to work but most of the time it will.

Either close the page you're on, or use the close button at the bottom

of the page. Pretty sure ctrl-alt-r is a toggle too.

Not sure about IE but Edge, Alt-D and tab to a button labeled Enter Reading View. Mainly available on sites featuring articles.

Hi! Chrome also has an add on call Just Read. It does the same thing as the reading mode in Edge, where all the clutter is gone, and leaves just the text on the page! David Moore Sent from Mail for Windows 10

Is this an add-on needing to be installed? I'm only aware of the below command to add to the shortcut properties to enable Reading View.

Hi Bob! Yes, it is an extension that you can easily install. Just go to the extensions page, and type Just Read in the search edit, and it will be the first choice for accessibility extensions for Chrome. It works very well. From the web page, you can press applications or Shift+F10, and you can arrow to a choice to use Just Read on that page. David Moore Sent from Mail for Windows 10

I went to Extentions under More Tools, clicked Search and entered Just Read.

Also, you can enter reader view in Firefox without installing any extensions by pressing F9 on the page of the article you want to read. I'm using Firefox Nightly, but I'm pretty sure this works on the stable version as well.

Can any of these modes be used by cut and paste? I often find myself needing to grab text from a web page to paste into a ascript for the sighted readers at our Talking newspaper to read.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
At present the only way seems to be to grab it all then fiddle about deleting the like this more here and sundry links out and reformatting the result. If the ability to read without the clutter exists, it would lessen the workload and annoyance factor considerably. For the record this has become important recently due to the tendency that newsletter production has gone down the lazy mans rout of just saying the headline and click here, which I hate with a passion and so do most, but that seems to be the way the stuff is going.

You have to be on a page with an article or
something like it. It won't be available on pages like home pages with a
lot of links and no extended content.

That isn't an article. Use a page that
contains an article such as a newspaper or magazine article. The feature
analyzes pages and determines if they are appropriate. It is not available
if the page is not formatted in a way that the feature will work properly.
It is intended for reading articles and removing extraneous material, not for
reading pages with a lot of links and short content that isn't
links.
