These steps will help you navigate to the table, select it, copy it, and paste it while keeping the formatting intact as much as possible.\n\n---\n\n## \ud83d\udccb Step-by-step Using JAWS to Copy a Table from an Email\n\n### 1. Navigate to the Table\n\n1. Open the email that contains the table.\n2. Make sure you're in \u201cBrowse mode\u201d or whatever mode lets you explore the content with JAWS (often the default when viewing HTML emails).  \n3. Use the **T** key to move to the **next table** within the email. Press **Shift + T** to move to the previous table. ([support.freedomscientific.com](https://support.freedomscientific.com/content/html/jawshq/JAWS-Keystrokes.html?utm_source=openai))\n\n### 2. Select the Table\n\n1. Once the cursor is inside or on the table (you\u2019ll usually hear JAWS say something like \"Table, 3 rows, 4 columns\u2026\" or similar), press **F8**. This selects the entire table. ([support.freedomscientific.com](https://support.freedomscientific.com/content/html/jawshq/JAWS-Keystrokes.html?utm_source=openai))\n2. Make sure you hear something affirming that the table is selected (sometimes visual highlight or an announcement if JAWS is configured for it). ([www2.freedomscientific.com](https://www2.freedomscientific.com/training/Surfs-Up/Tables.htm?utm_source=openai))\n\n### 3. Copy the Table\n\n- After selecting it, press **Ctrl + C** to copy it. ([mail-archive.com](https://www.mail-archive.com/jaws-users-list%40jaws-users.com/msg111983.html?utm_source=openai))\n\n### 4. Paste the Table Into Your Target Document\n\n1. Open the document or app where you want to paste (Word, Excel, or another rich text/HTML-capable app).\n2. Use **Ctrl + V** to paste.  \n3. If it doesn\u2019t retain the table structure and instead pastes as text, try \u201cPaste Special\u201d in Word or Outlook and choose a format like **HTML** or \u201cKeep Source Formatting.\u201d ([mail-archive.com](https://www.mail-archive.com/jaws-users-list%40jaws-users.com/msg111983.html?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## \ud83d\udd27 Additional Navigation Shortcuts (While Inside the Table)\n\nOnce you have the table selected, you can move around in it or read parts of it using these shortcuts:\n\n- **Alt + Ctrl + Right/Left** \u2014 Move to the cell to the right or left ([support.freedomscientific.com](https://support.freedomscientific.com/content/html/jawshq/JAWS-Keystrokes.html?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Alt + Ctrl + Up/Down** \u2014 Move up or down a cell in the column ([support.freedomscientific.com](https://support.freedomscientific.com/content/html/jawshq/JAWS-Keystrokes.html?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Windows key + Alt + Right/Left** \u2014 Move to next or prior **column** and read it ([freedomscientific.com](https://www.freedomscientific.com/training/jaws/hotkeys/?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Windows key + Alt + Down/Up** \u2014 Move to next or previous **row** and read it ([freedomscientific.com](https://www.freedomscientific.com/training/jaws/hotkeys/?utm_source=openai))  \n\nThese commands help you check what\u2019s in the cells before copying and make sure you\u2019re selecting what you want.\n\n---\n\n## \u26a0\ufe0f Tips & Considerations\n\n- If the email or message body is plain text, or if it's not HTML/email client that supports tables, the table might flatten into plain text when pasted. The formatting might not survive.\n- Some email clients or JAWS settings might treat the table as art or non-HTML, which makes selection/paste harder. If that happens:\n  - Try forwarding the email to yourself in a different format.\n  - Copy and paste into Excel first, then move to Word or another document.\n\n---\n\nIf you tell me which email client you're using (Outlook desktop, Outlook web, Gmail, etc.), I can give you more specific instructions to match your setup."
