Copying Editable Text from the Internet
from February 2004 TOG meeting Q&A
Q. When I am on the Internet I often see information on the screen that I want to save. I know I can print the screen but I want the text in editable form. How can I do that?    A. You can save on screen text with the following key strokes:    Ctrl A to highlight the text, then Ctrl C to copy it to Notepad, then open WORD, then Ctrl V to copy it from Notepad to WORD. This copies text only. Any images will not be copied.	Editor's Note    If you don't have WORD or wish to use another word processor then, in a separate directory, save the file from Notepad as a text (txt) file. Then open your word processor and import the saved text file from that directory.
