How can I copy, keeping the format of the document in Chrome?
Sean
Hello NVDA community, Chrome for the web is my favorite. When I open any HTML document in Chrome, I want to copy the
document to the clipboard, keeping the format properties
of the document. This happens when I do Alt > Edit > Select all
& Copy in Firefox.

"Select all and Copy" in Firefox is just an implementation of CTRL+A followed by CTRL+C.
I just used the "manual way" in Chrome, pasted the result into MS-Word, and all formatting is retained. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 Science has become just another voice in the room; it has lost its platform.

Not if browse mode is on. If you turn browse mode off, the formatting of the web page will be retained. Use NVDA space bar to turn off browse mode, then use control a. then turn browse mode on again with NVDA a.

from mack gene, concerning retaining original format when copying in chrome, did you mean, turn off browse mode with NVDA plus spacebar, control A to select all, control C to copy, then turn browse mode back on, thanks |

I wrote the last step incorrectly, but that's what I meant. I meant NVDA Space to turn on browse mode again but I wrote NVDA a instead. I'm glad you caught the error. I check my messages before I send them but sometimes I don't catch something even when I read it again.

It work now. I’m puzzled that I couldn’t discover it.
