I've 'highlighted' the text. selected 'copy' but then ......NOTHING!. Then .... put your curser where you want the text to be, right click the mouse, click Paste .... the text will appear!

Either I'm very 'thick' or there's something wrong with my computer (probably the former). I've 'highlighted' the text. selected 'copy' but then ......NOTHING!. M. Steer

I usually open up a word document, then minimize it, hold the left hand button on the mouse down and highlight all the text you want and right click copy, then open up the word document and right click again and select paste, the text will appear in the word doc.
